Gawker: Terrible Jobs for Ex-Magaziners

I couldn't agree more with the ones listed (bullets taken from AdAge):
  • Selling advertising for display "at the gas pumps... at the malls." You can tell your friends you work in "out of home advertising" if you prefer, although then they'll probably assume you sell those ads above urinals in bars.
  • Pharmaceutical advertising, aka "direct-to-consumer advertising." If you're lucky, this means helping with print or TV ads. If you're not, you may well be spamming ads for "V1agra," or designing/selling Web ads that are barely a step above.
  • "Contract and consulting opportunities," miscellaneous.
But sometimes you have to make do with what you have...
