some agencies, think that because you are young, or maybe finishing school they can impress you with an AD title when offering you a job that pays half the real salary of an AD?
I know experience is important, but c'mon...

That's how some agencies are. ADs don't get paid very much. It's considered a "burn through" position until you're senior.

Look at this -> ((()---
It's the world's smallest violin playing a sad song for all underpaid, underage ADs out there.

Titles don't mean shit, it's the work you do. In my opinion art directors not only lead teams but have to direct shoots, come up with concepts that other people work up and oversee projects. Plus deal with clients, a lot.
Very much doubt you'd be doing that right out of university....

I know an AD that works there, and I know somebody that was interviewed and offered the same position a while back.... I make more than double than what they make, and I love my job. I am not complaining, becuase I simply said 'No Thanks'.
I just find it absurd and funny they try to impress people like that....it's like those signs on evbery corner "BE YOUR OWN BOSS!"

Your title was ADHD but they changed it right before you walked in.

funny...i just started my new job today as an AD and still in school.
boohoo if you're underpaid, don't take it then. but agency experience is a major plus on a resume.
it was only the first day and know its gonna be alot more than just leading people. directing shoots is gonna be a trip.

you're still in school and an AD? so who exactly will you be directing? a set of 15 year old interns on summer break from highschool?
