Essentially I'm going into advertising, fashion photography, big/huge campaigns etc.

But I'll probably take over my dad's company in medical equipment and services first and the advertising business will be a side business, and if the medical company grows a bit I can put someone else in charge and become a full time Art Director, while cashing in on the other company ;)

I want to be taller.

[D2LTA]

I wanted very much to be a car designer, my art teacher accused me of copying my drawings of cars which was impossible as they were unique, my grades sucked and the art school turned me away, so i sold my sole and am now working in Libya for Baker Oil Tools working as Well Service and Completions engineer. Not a very passionate job but I have an integrale to drive six months of the year so who cares!

[CdocZ]

I want to be taller.

Chances are I beat you - 5'4" ;)

["Clevor" Angel]

My first choice would be an automotive engineer, school of choice would be Art Morrison. I also plan to do alot of stuff with physics, preferably quantum physics but aerodynamics, thermodynamics, nuclear, it all looks pretty interesting.

I'm getting my degree in Mechanical Engineering, would like to take that knowledge into a career with motorsports in some way. Wouldn't mind working for jambase.com either, talk about music, go to concerts and write reviews on 'em, sounds like the perfect job.

[targa]

Your restaurants will never get off the ground.

[Rockefella]

I'm just fooling around MP, don't take all of this seriously. :) Although, you shouldn't be SO optimistic.

[my porsche]

well i know there is a 70% failure rate in restaurants, and most restaurants are run by chefs, therefore we can infer that that is the reason they fail, you can be the best chef ever on earth but if you refuse to have ouside financial help (as most of us chefs do, we;re stubborn)then you WILL fail. thats why im majoring in business management, and possibly going to business school, on top of my culinary university, that way i will have both sides covered, and significantly reduce my chances of failure in the restaraunt business. so while there still is ALWAYS a chance for failure, it becomes much lower than 70% when you take the right steps instead of doing what so many great, great chefs do, which just ends in tragedy.


sorry if i mispelled anything, im on my moms laptop

[Matra et Alpine]

m_p, you wan tto watch the Gordon Ramsay tv series.
Lots of insights into why restaurants fail and the EGO in some of the owners AND the chefs is the problem -- jsut as in ANY business.

it's easier to think you have the answer than it is to ask the right question and be brave enough to listen to the answer.

gordon ramsay's kitchen dissasters? seen it in england, pretty good, i saw the one where he was working on a michelin starred one in wales, the owner refused to do hings GORDON RAMSAY'S way!!! he pointed out all theseways to save money etc nd he wouldnt listen, it was kinda funny

How much time do you spend drawing?

every day.

[shr0olvl]

every day.

Can you show us some of these drawings ?

[Prius]

sure.

[Esperante]

I feel these sketches will come just as quickly as the pics of your car...

Anyway,
I've always been obsessed with the idea of design. Just the shear thought of being able to create an enviroment or a structure or something that 'interacts' with space is just plain out awesome to me. I've drawn up quite a few architectural sketches, though never really shown them here, due to their impertinence to the typical subject, but anything in the architectural/industrial design field for me. :)

[my porsche]

prius has a car?!!? :eek:

[Esperante]

He claimed he did, way back when he 'was' a car designer...

Indeed. I'd like to know his secret to losing all those years. :eek:
