This is one of the most depressing ads I have ever seen.
That's it? After "Changing the World", all you have to look forward to is getting a job, retiring and dying?
On top of it being so completely depressing, I also find it in support of a pretty hardwired status quo. Like at the end of your city year, they hand you a grey flannel suit with a name tag reading "Willy Loman".
I need to lie down I think.

I saw this ad last year and got really furious with Americorps. It offends me, for all of the things that it implies. Plus, I saw it just after Dad died, and it made me mad they assume everyone has the luxury of retiring.
Hate it.
Yeah, that one pretty much sucks.
Retire? Hell, "get a job" is not a lock right now either.
muloses: what they started calling Moses after the first 20 years of wandering around the desert. Except they added the phrase "uphill in January."
fuck. I totally didn't change the world. And I only had that one chance. Ugh.
Americorps should fire anyone who hired this marketing team.
And then fire the marketing team.
