Re: I was turned down by Segway!
Applying to Segway is a cool idea!
One of the more fun and interesting hobbies is compiling a collection of rejection letters for all sorts of interesting jobs. One of my favorite letters (I have it framed, hanging on my wall) is my rejection letter from the NASA astronaut corps, declining my application to be an astronaut. I knew that I would never be accepted (really crappy vision), but I just wanted to go through the process to see what it was like, and to at least say that I tried.
But that got me thinking, what would it be like to apply for a job as the head of a movie studio, or race car driver, or Golden Gate Bridge painter, or philanthropist, or lion tamer, or Krispy Kreme donut taste tester, or king of a small country? Well, lets just say that some of the rejection letters for such applications would be priceless!
