INTERNET MARKETING

There are all kinds of advertising jobs you can get. You might work with a Chicago SEO company and get into Internet marketing. You might end up as a copywriter for a big time ad agency downtown. You could write commercials out in Hollywood for soap. Or you could do what I ended up doing. I stood out on the street dressed up in a stupid cat outfit, holding a sign that advertised “Bobcat’s Car Wash.” It was just as bad as you would think. People threw trash at me from their cars or tried to run over my foot. I stood out there in the hot sun all day long and only had a couple of five-minute water breaks. I did this for three weeks and got paid minimum wage. Yes, I was a desperately poor college student. And, yes, at the end of those three weeks, I was ready to stab everyone in sight. I didn’t even have a knife or anything sharp at hand. I thought I could people with the air. That’s how bad I had gotten. The worst was still to come because I needed a job the next summer and that experience qualified me to dress up as a giant lumberjack squirrel at a local amusement park.
