Me and son was discussing about what he'll be when he grew up. He
needs alot fo money because he'll want to buy lots of Lego sets. So I
suggested working for Lego Company. And this is what we found, an
interview with one of the Lego designers.

And guess what his first line was?

"You could say that I got my "education" while working at LEGO Company"

My son is addicted to Legos, and loves to read this article:

Here is a tour of the Lego factory:

There was an article in Newsweek about this Lego artist (same guy as
in the CNN article). They said he was the only "official" Lego
Designer who didn't work for Lego...found out it wasn't so cool
repairing other peoples art. He has a website:
http://www.brickartist.com/ and his art is touring North
America...maybe to a town near you, which would be more economical
than LegoLand :)

Even if you don't like Legos, he is still an amazing example of
someone making money doing what they love!
