It’s a long-standing tradition for songs to be written about work. It’s a subject that comes up nearly as often as lyrics about girls, cars, partying and alcohol.
Although most of the popular work songs are about hating your job, you don’t have to be stuck on repeat in your current work situation. You can change your tune by browsing the PMA Job Board.
It’s the place to find new opportunities in the Performance Marketing industry that will make your career sing. It’s free to browse and to post a job.
