Re: JPL/NASA Anyone want to work there?

For a long time I have wanted to work for the LEGO corporation as some kind of model maker... LEGO's were definately an inspiration for my career path as I grew up. So was architecture for that matter.

Now, I just want to work somewhere close to home. I worked for a place where the commute everyday was a nightmare. Ughh..

Anyways, I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

It would be great if I were independently wealthy to back up some of my eccentric ideas I have at times.

How did Dean do that again??
Oh yeah... that hard work thing... Hmm... Well, there goes that plan.. lol j/k

Anyways.. I don't know where I would like to work.

I do like doing things with my hands, and I also like seeing a project from concept to prototype to final stage. So, I don't know...
I guess my current studies at college for CAD are good for now, and then I will go from there.

I think I will always be in school. As much as I hate structured learning, it's the only way I actually do learn stuff. Actually, that is false, I learn a lot from side projects I do, like being involved in FIRST and also restoring an older vehicle.

The only thing that I do know is that I never want my career to take up my whole life.
If I have to devote more than say 40-50 hours a week to work, I don't want to spend all my time making money for somone else. I'd rather devote myself to my career if it were for me and my ideas - no matter how eccentric they may be. I know that may seem kind of selfish, but... Oh well.
