I'm a software dev and i've been working corporate america for a decade and i hate it. i hate every second of every day. i've tried applying for non profits and government jobs and the entire job market is total balls. i've been trying to find something else for half a year and 100+ job applications.
I want to do something menial like project management. Something sitting at a desk. Something that isn't very mentally straining like the software engineering I'm doing now.
I want to work with cool people.
I want to work in an environment where I don't have to justify breathing the oxygen in their office.
I want to have a nice boss.
I don't care if the pay is shit.
How can i find something like this? How does one approach a job search if what you care about most is cool coworkers and doesn't care at all what the job is (aside from it being a desk job) or how much it pays?
Marketing is evil, change my mind.
I would say it it's a grey area depending on what it is used for. Putting up an ad for Bloomberg and putting up an ad for a non-profit women's shelter are two very different things.
My problem with it is that in both cases you're mostly just funneling money to advertisers which are overwhelmingly insanely shitty companies. Facebook, google, microsoft, and the television media networks
You are absolutely right. It's the problem of monopolizing message distribution and those companies need to be nationalized. There is no other platform to reach the masses without buying into the game. All we have for now.
edit: Hail Satan
No ethical marketing under capitalism? Maybe that's where it stands. Still gotta market the positive stuff, kinda like we still gotta consume - but doing so as ethically as possible is more better.
Love the username 🙏🙏
