Oh, it's not about honour or anything. I guess by "selling out" I mean doing something primarily because it's a "real" job that makes "good" money. I didn't end up in marketing because I couldn't find a way to do it that was personally rather than just monetarily rewarding.
If anything, I do marketing but in the book trade. There just isn't much money in that.
