Thanks, various animated anti- and super-heroes, for the encouraging words. I have been giving a lot of thought to getting back into advertising. I don't love working in public involvement. I do love advertising. Always have. So I've been looking at various ad schools. I'm having a hard time deciding what to do, so I'm opening this blog up to suggestions.
Here's my options:
Miami Ad School: One of the two best ad schools out there. They have locations in Miami, Minneapolis, San Fran, and overseas.
Pros: Amazing education, fantastic intern program with the hottest shops in the world.
Cons: Expensive (having quadruplets without insurance would be cheaper), intern program would have me away from home three separate times in a two year period.
UVC AdCenter: The other of the two best ad schools out there. Located in Richmond, VA.
Pros: Unbelievable faculty, outstanding curriculum, top-notch reputation.
Cons: Expensive (see quad statement above, add a heart transplant when including housing), time commitment (2 full, intense years).
Creative Circus: Located in Atlanta, this school is held in high regard by pros in the biz. Boyz in da hood also think it is a fine institute of higher learning.
Pros: Great curriculum, operates in quarters so I can start in Oct or Jan.
Cons: Never been to Atlanta for more than a layover, no connections whatsoever.
Chicago Portfolio School: One year program in the Windy City, one of the 2-3 best cities in America.
Pros: Relatively cheap, near family in Rockford, only one year, student sample work is pretty nice.
Cons: Near family in Rockford, only one year.
Castle Rock: Stay where I'm at.
Pros: Wonderful schools, weather and friends, steady-paying job, security.
Cons: Always wondering if I would have had what it would have taken to make it in the ad world.
Please forward a link to this blog to friends, relatives, enemies, cats, used car salesmen, and anyone else that would be able to add their two cents. I need help soon...it's time to jump or stay in the plane.

Yo Don Johnson, Miami is OUT. And just so you know there will be NO interns away from us!!!!!
Atlanta is ok, not looking forward to Jules being the only cracker in school (yeah said it!), Chicago, cons totally out weigh the pros. Looks like its VA. But wait, you have a great NEW prospect in OR! Lets hope that works!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
You know Castle Rock is THE BEST place ever, but your dreams are a bit more importnat right now. We can always come back and move in with the Johnsons or Jones!
