I got another email about from someone who didn't like the fact that she studied ad agencies. Given that most agencies claim to be so creative, I'm surprised that they don't like titles like "chief evangelist."

It appears the professor studied nothing but start-up advertising agencies. Yikes. There's no way their world of smoke, mirrors, and cronyism relates to any business that actually creates a product, solves a pRoblem, and adds tangible economic value. Not to say that there are no legit agencies that add tangible value, there are some maybe a significant minority. But overall they work in a world that's very different than retail, manufacturing, or professional services. I wouldn't buy any generalizations about small ad agencies as a example of an entrepreneurial anything. Read a little further and you come to a big red flag.
