Want To Be a Bazillionaire? Don't Become a Copywriter.
I went to school before things like the Internet and social media existed.
I read books instead of learning how to write code.
I didn’t graduate from MIT.
I went back to school and got a Masters in English — making me even more unemployable than I already was.
I’ve never written an elevator speech.
I moved from Mountain View — home to Google — to Massachusetts.
And, I just ended my relationship with Facebook.
I’m the antithesis of the twenty-somethings portrayed in this hilarious video about life in the Silicon Valley.
(Hat tip to Fake Steve Jobs who posted it.)
