“To play it safe is not to play.” - Robert Altman I have played it safe in my professional life. When beginning my career in advertising ten years ago‚ I applied the theories and skills learned while completing my Sociology degree and found the path that was not only comfortable‚ but padded by benefits‚ expense accounts‚ and holiday bonuses.
