May I suggest you never get a job in marketing!

Nah, he has too much of a soul for marketing.

Oh, I can fake marketing schmaltz pretty well (see how well I do
promoting games I actually like!). Where I really fail at is in sales.
Convincing people to buy something they know they don't need just
isn't in me.

I've had several jobs which I quit after just a few days. Sales was
one of them. "You don't want to buy and I don't want to sell" doesn't
make the employers happy (and doesn't bring much in commissions either
;-)

Sadly, I'd probably last longer in marketing. Not very long, as I
don't think I'd be very good (ads are best if they're quick and
snappy, while I tend to expound endlessly on a subject) but that's
more being saved by a failure in ability than any moral superiority
;-)
