… just to let you know that a planner doesn’t actually need a masters degree or a PHD to be insightful, valuable or successful.
I know you’ve got so many qualifications they’re falling out your ass … and I appreciate their application can have incredible value for adland … however unless the person has lived – and lives – a full and varied life, then having an arms length interaction with society and talking from the pedestal of academia is potentially more of a hindrance than a benefit.
I know you might find this upsetting – and please note that I am not saying any Tom, Dick and Harry could be someone in this position [at least, not without good training] – but on the bright side, just think how many more people I’ve just opened up for you to meet/interview.
Glad to have helped … now how about calling back that person you were so stupid to a few days ago?
