    Dear Helpme,

    I think you'd be happier with agency-side right out of school. The pay isn't always as good as client-side (but it can be), and the hours can definitely be gruelling, but it's the place where you'll make your mark if you're going to make it at all. Working in house can be equally rewarding, but it's generally the play-it-safe route. You can always switch back and forth, no reason to think you'll be tied to one or the other for the rest of your life unless you want to be. That being said, straight out of school - be prepared to have limited input and responsibility for a good while no matter where you end up. You should be prepared to work your ass off on even the most gag-inducing projects, as they're mostly the ones that pay your wage.
