I'm often asked by people who have been in this profession for years - "What's next outside of TV?"
So many in promo wonder what they might do if they find themselves without a job -- or that day when they think "I can't stand another sweeps! It's time to give this up."
So I'm asking -- where do Creative Services Directors go once they've left TV?
Ad agencies? Marketing for a non-TV company?
What skills do we gain at a station that are transferable?
