Vocational Copywriting
Today we will examine the benefits of copywriting as a vocation.
There are a great number of benefits as a copywriter. The salary for a copywriter is much higher than the average wage in the United States. In 2005 the magazine Advertising Age said that the average salary for a copywriter was right around $60,000 when you included bonuses. You can imagine it will be higher now, given the inflation over the last two years. The Bureau of Labor Statistics came up with a similar but slightly lower number around $57,000.
Copywriting is more versatile than other jobs. You do not need to worry about keeping a set schedule because your focus is on writing good copy, not punching a time card. This allows you to plan your work around your schedule, giving you more flexibility to live your life. Most jobs are not able to do this.
Copywriting also allows for a great workplace environment. Many professional copywriters are part of an advertising agency, which can make for an excellent work environment. Quite often there are many creative and high-energy people surrounding you. You can throw ideas around with these people and sharpen your skills. These people produce a great environment because their intelligence and creativity will often challenge and motivate you. Advertising agencies vary in size, which helps you customize your work environment to your mind set and makeup. A smaller agency will give you a closer group of people to work with, while a larger agency will offer more competition and energy. As you can see, there is a lot of flexibility in your work environment.
You will also find that your job will never get boring because you must produce good copy, which can be very challenging. If you work at an advertising agency, you will often have many different types of clients and thus your day-to-day project list will change. This means that no two days will be the same.
Vocational Copywriting offers many benefits from whatever angle you examine it. Your income will be substantial with an average wage of about $60,000. If you become a master copywriter, then you can clearly earn more money as well. A copywriter’s work environment is often brimming with creative energy and is far more flexible than most other jobs.
