Why?
If you have a regular contract - good luck to you - thats success isn't it?
If not, try to get one, its the only way you'll make any money at it!
Anyone who can make a living as a freelance with the appauling pay, the long waits between writing and seeing the money, and the time you spend having to chase work when you really just want to be writing/photographing etc deserves a hearty round of applause in my book. Its a very hard way to make a living.

 Tis OK Jan, just sulking at an earlier post saying that all advertising and marketing people are sad low lifes. No, I don't have regular work, running my own business means that things are always precarious! But I'm on the other side from you, I'm in advertising rather than the journalism side.

Also, a thankless task, me thinks sometimes.
Just think though - it could be worse - you could be an estate agent.
|
|
 Appalling!
|
|
Yes, most estate agents are
|
|
 No one deserves that......

 My brother-in-law is in marketing
|

sorry was, just found out he's leaving the company he's been with for 18 yrs to move onto new pastures.
He was earning mega bucks, his bonus each year was more than I got paid!!

Cara, may I apologise for any offence caused by my off the cuff, and rude remark about people in advertising.
I had forgotten you were in advertising, but not that you collect BIG knifes.

 I like my estate agents, last two lots did a great job and the current ones seam to be doing fine allthough we are only half way through at the mo.
|
|
 nothing wrong with advertising as a job. it allows you to put your morals etc on the back burner whilst earning a crust in your alter ego.
|
|
 Could be worse, could be a Who-shall-we-sue-today lawyer or even a user car salesman.
|
|
lol
|
|
I'm taking my last estate agents to the Ombudsman and if I don't get a satisfactory answer then I shall be suing them.
|
|
 If you sue them, will your lawyer get the blame?
:-)

At least the holes are only on adverts this time.
