In looking through the set of sketchnotes Mike Rohde took at SXSWi this year, I came across this one (pink stars added by me using Skitch). The statement from Mr. Coudal is exactly why I ended up in advertising.
Upon graduating from high school, I attended Colorado School of Mines* on a baseball scholarship. It was my experience there, bouncing around various majors and really not enjoying any of the advanced math and science classes I had to take, that I realized I wanted to work in advertising. So I transferred and ended up getting a degree in marketing, which led to my first job as an intern at an ad agency.
Anyway, wanted to share a bit about how I ended up in this crazy business but more so, call out these great notes from Mike.
* This was mostly because it was the best education opportunity playing baseball presented me and at the ripe age of 18, I wasn't sure what I really wanted to do with my life other than play baseball at that point. It was also because the baseball coach told me I could major in Environmental Science in my second year because it was on its way to becoming a major (then just a minor). It wasn't.
