Up to today, I had been studying advertising for close to 3 years... and counting.
And I had numerous lecturers telling us sometimes we might have to sell our soul for what we have to do. For money. For economy..? or For the better of everyone.
I still remember the day of my scholarship interview, the guy ask me why do I want to study advertising? I think I give a rather holistic and naive answer then or more like the answer he wanted to hear.
I won't says I will give up on advertising or this industry just because it's not peachy perfect and all. However, I would see this as a challenge on how we can do something great in this industry perhaps even without selling our souls.
Or maybe after all, I'm just being idealistic.

I don't sell my soul because I believe in managing peoples' expectations. If the car can't hit 200, don't say it can.
