Marketing jobs are varied. I developed some skills and finally found a job where I 100% believe in what I'm doing. Imagine you worked at a publisher publishing new editions of all your favourite classics. Something along those lines of "holy shit I can't believe I get to do this". It's a good feeling. Good luck to you. Sometimes you have to wade through some shit before things go your way.

to be honest with you, after a few months it isnt the dignified shangri la one dreams of in our line of work

in the end, it's just like any other job, only you're supposedly don't work to enrich already rich stock holders but for the betterment of the world

you'll start to have doubts of whether or not youre making any difference at all

NGOs are an industry, and in the day to day work just like any other industry. your colleagues will be motivated by idealism, but thats not so different from people motivated by pride or greed.

Mooching off my single mom who's working a blue-collar job and delaying my suicide until she kicks me out. I'm a scumbag, but my life is worthless and if I had to work to sustain this hollow existence I'd just bite the bullet. I also haven't read a book in two or three years; my main hobby right now is eating and getting fatter and fatter. I've thought about intentionally becoming fat enough to be incapable of work or taking care of myself so my mother won't have a choice but to take care of me until I die.

Agencies/marketing firms in you area. Or just look for 'copywriter' job listings at big companies. If you've already been working as a writer it shouldn't be too difficult. If you've only ever slung it freelance for garbage (I know the feel) then embellish your involvement with those companies if you can. Its a slog, but as soon as you land your first internal gig at an agency, its smooth sailing.
