Lazy Ad Students Crowdsource Their Books

my_crowdschool.jpg

Seriously? You go to ad school. You drop out (lazy? flunked? too expensive?) to finish your books on your own. When you can’t, you ask the ad industry to crowdsource it for you. What happened to good old fashioned hard work? Oh right, laziness reigns supreme these days. Can’t cut it on your own? Open it up to the internets and surely someone else will cover your ass by doing your work for you.

Why are Eric Stiles and Nick Larson doing this? To challenge the current portfolio school system, they claim. Granted, the schools aren’t perfect but if you two want to succeed in this business, you might just want to do some of your own work. Oh wait, we’re all a bunch of lazy-ass delegators in this business so you’ll both fit in perfectly.
