Inside the mind of a compensated brand ambassador.

The Chicago Tribune has one of those stories that can make you feel old, even if you only graduated from college ten years ago. It’s about junior, Alex Covington, at Northwestern University who is also a brand rep.  What memories I have of college don’t involve compensated brand ambassadorhsip.  While my cynical friend thinks this this kind of activity marks the end of civilization, all I can do is imagine the conversation when Bernadine Dohrn compliments Ms. Covington on her sundress. I think that’s an SNL skit right there.
