After 10 years working on an agency, the only one I can truly relate to is number 8!
The furthest away from my own experience in number 2. While being a student that may be possible, but, if I work all night is because daylight didn’t give enough time to do my job, and I do need to stay awake while the rest of the world is, as clients, colleagues do tend to work in daylight hours. If anything you lack sleep, and you work at clients pace – but that my experience, and doesn’t mean i don’t love my job!!

I too love my job and take great satisfaction from having happy clients and knowing my hard work is being seen and appreciated by many.
After years of working for a big company I love being my own boss. I have kids and a husband who works evenings so being able to timeshift my work to fit in socialising with my friends is great. I can take a couple of hours for a girlie lunch then make it up in the evening.

I’m glad I changed my career before I die, I was 30ys old young then, it was the smartest gift I’ve done to myself. No one can take this away from me, my talent growing bigger as my hair getting whiter.
Take a moment to visit my site as i did to yours and good luck.
