Bullshit by Bing

Came across an ‘inspiring’ book in library yesterday.

‘100 bullshit jobs and how to get them’ by Stanley Bing.

Felt reassured to find that advertising still tops the list of bullshit jobs.

Followed by other fulfilling vocations like Ayurvedic Healer, Motivational Speaker, Critic, Book Editor, Investment Banker, among others.

PS: Though the content is all bullshit, Bing wraps it up with a catchy book title (a previous one was called ‘Sun Tzu was a Sissy’). He would have made it big in advertising. Pity.
