For one, it is a rhetorical question.

For two, you seem to be a critical individual. It does not surprise me that you have a job in a field that is noted and paid for it's criticisim (proofing) of written material or photos......



Nothing derogatory, but obviously funny.... ;)

Bar the Ferrari we've got the same idea. I'm more of a Shelby Cobra type of chap.

Career makes me think about sweatshops, dashed promises of greatness, and dissapointed people in old age mumbling about what they could have done (but didn't because of their "career".)

It's a functional definition of what I do: I try to figure out why certain (market) events happen repeatedly, some common thread of causality, but not just for the sake of knowledge (hence 'applied').

The actual title, obviously, is different :D , but there aren't that many people with my title who have the same first name as I do...

Student!

Currently a high school senior and will be going to a two-year school school (http://www.dmacc.edu/) next year with a major in Graphic Design. After that, I hope to go to a NYC design school like Parson's or FIT to get my Bachelor's.

In the future, I want to work for a (major) design company in New York City or be self employed.

My uncle in Paris was one of those. He had PhD's in philosophy and mathematics, which he used full-time to perfect a roulette system. Annually he absconded to the casino in Biarritz, where he tested his system's latest tweaks with that year's savings. He always came back, but never with the savings.
