yea. I go to a DO school cause I got into one those dual accept programs out of high school. I applied BS/MD as well, but didn't get in cause I was a loose cannon. My parents really pushed me into the program cause they knew I'd end up working at urban outfitters otherwise.

I spent most of undergrad high as fuck and got a 24 on mcat cause I didn't really give a fuck and guessed on the entire test. But for some reason, God or Buddha got me the minimum score I needed to stay in the program.

Hi fellow adv bro. I'm like 5 months from completing a degree in adv and I'm also interning right now as a copywriter in a marketing dept of a corp.

How hard is account mgmt? I feel like you need good people skills, and I'm quite introverted most of the time, which is why I've gravitated to creative & copywriting over the course of my degree.

Any advice for someone new to the game? Jobs seem plentiful, but is it hard to get in to copywriting and establish yourself? I've had a blog post published internally at my internship and should have another published on a national job seekers website. Anything else I should look in to to help?

Buy stuff in huge numbers off darknet markets and sell them back to people. Buy like 500 bucks of acid or molly and I'm sure you can double or triple your money. After you do that for a while you'll definitely come to know other people that are closer to the original distributor who will give you better deals. Once you get deep enough into this shit you actually have to start covering your tracks and keeping a gun on you and shit like that... If I were you I wouldn't get into it deeper than a hobby because you WILL get fucking paranoid as fuck once you start dealing to people you don't actually know.

not sure what to say. it took me a while to find a copy writing job to be honest, especially since i live in a somewhat shitty flyover city that doesn't have a whole lot of these positions available. just work hard, develop a good resume, and apply to tons of companies to see who bites. having blog posts published doesnt mean a whole lot, but maybe keep them and you can use them as examples of your work
