1. Advertising involves lying to people to shift product.
2. Marketing ultimately involves creating a low-risk / high-gain advertising strategy. Innovation is always going to involve a risk. Intelligence and subtlety doesn't always equate to gain.
3. Designers are generally employed by advertising and marketers.How can there possibly be a happy ending from that mix?
To ensure you have a happy life, be realistic -> accept this harsh reality. You don't need to get everything from your job... as long as you can experiment and innovate with _some_ projects (even if they are personal), and as long as you still feel excited by _some_ of the work, you're doing well imo.
I'm imagine that a large majority of people have (what they'd consider to be) shit jobs that they dislike -> I think lots of designers have it reasonably good.
