(in fact, I wanted to do this since the fifth grade, way before I heard of Dean Kamen, but he certainly helped as being my role model)
So who else is going to/ try to emulate dean's career choice. As far as money and advancing science and engineering go, I think hi-tech inventions are the way to go. Tell me what you think.

Cool, what do you want to invent? If I wanted to be an inventor, I would start in the medical field and study instruments used for surgery. Last year, I wrote a paper about robotics used in surgery (specifically bypass surgery for the heart), and I think it could be interesting to work more with that.

I don't know if you would really call it inventing...I want to more or less 'develop' new products for the automotive/ street rodding industry. Pretty much anything that makes your car look cooler. I'm already in Collision Repair ( i got the "Most Outstanding Sophomore" award ), and I'm currently studying for my SkillsUSA district test the 15th. After i graduate i want to go to WyoTech and take the Collision and Refinishing course, with the Street Rod Fab being part of it...that and applied service management so i can open my own shop.

I suggest you get your hands on a copy of the book Code Named Ginger by Steve Kemper. It is the official book of the Segway, and has a lot of info on inventing, and all the processes and headaches you have to go through to get something ready to market. I just finished reading it, and it was awesome.

And, it stars everybody's favorite 20th/21st century inventor and FIRST founder, Dean Kamen.
