    I’d rather work 16 hour days 6 days a week getting my own business off the ground than making money for some jackass who is probably on his boat in the Bahamas anyway.

  • Bud Fox 11 years ago on Advice Postgrad Me Would Give To Freshman Me

    Solid advice here, Randall. Having the balls to ask women out in the real world goes a long way, too. You’d be amazed how people will accommodate you when asking nicely, from circumventing class attendance policy to getting free upgrades in the airline lounge. Just do it.

    On academic effort, the Taco Tuesdays and Thirsty Thursdays I missed to study were never worth it, ever. I graduated on time with two majors, neither of which have anything to do with my current underpaid job. So go have a few too many on a Wednesday while you still can. And definitely switch to whiskey.

  • Bud Fox 11 years ago on 5 Reasons Why Working In Marketing Sucks

    Working in the media my email inbox is bombarded all week long with pointless press releases. Three biased and flowery paragraphs will not cover up the fact the event/promotion/happy hour isn’t newsworthy and worth a damn. The releases get trashed faster than a sorostitute on spring break in Cancun. Thanks marketing people for giving me the only power move I can pull working at a newspaper – deleting press releases. I’ll go back to fearing getting laid off now.
