Marketing is directly or indirectly pressuring people into doing something. When someone tells me they're going to school for Marketing I wonder how they arrived at that conclusion. Were you sitting at home watching an infomercial with the Sham-Wow dude and thought, "Man, that looks like a lot of fun." It isn't. Just ask the Sham-Wow dude. Or take Billy Mays for example. Billy is dead. So they're going to school to be a dead bearded man? In hindsight those three things aren't that bad. Everyone dies, beards rock and men are the best (unless you're a woman, then women are the best. Just don't change that part of your body.).
Death is necessary, beards are natural (so stop hiding yours, ladies) and humans are cool. If you want to be like Billy, go for it. If you want to be like the Sham-Wow dude, rock on (just be sure to keep away from the "ladies of the night"). If you've ever thought "Man, selling really absorbent towels or orange scented cleaning supplies looks like a cool job," and seriously pursued that desire: kudos. I just have one thing to request: stop trying to pressure me into buying a bunch of useless junk.
