yeah advertising sucks - i also imagined the c-suite and thought maybe i'd get there in advertising but god i felt even more out of place than i think i would have in the world of finance because marketing people felt so fake. that photo of you at the bar killed me haha

My husband also likes to “relax” by “learning” about the economy. 🙄

I’d planned to major in English, but a racist junior high teacher during the first year of desegregation put paid to that. Instead, I chose music, where both art and intellect are valued, and never looked back. Until later, in the same writing program as Sukriti. Congrats on this new substack venture🎉

I think the world of high finance would’ve fired me pretty rapidly, Bill 😂
