I have a master’s degree in Ancient Philosophy. Nonetheless, I managed to find gainful employment by leveraging the “coming up with absurd ideas and selling people on them” skill set I learned from Plato into a career in advertising. I don’t know if he would be proud of me, but my parents certainly are.

Want me to write you words, then arrange them in a pleasant and persuasive manner?
