Nice!!!, thats awsome
And cool cool, started off with civil engineering but changed to Architecture through my years.
Much like you I realized that I should find a sustainable job, and then work for a while and see if the prospect to possibly work for Disney comes true. Seeing that the works contracted out more frequently its almost luck now.

Nice!, I looked into pratt as well, but i wanted to get away from New York :ROFLOL:, and its a great school. And I work "upstate" in a firm. I put upstate in quotes becuase even though im 90 miles from the city. People there consider me upstate even though there is a whole state above me. But you probably know that.

Yes, I was like you as well. My plan now is to get rich with my own business ventures, then sponsor a theme park attraction or attraction(s) and tell them to build it the way I tell them to :drevil:

I am going to make an guess here.
But if Imagineering is anything like engineering in most places I have worked, you need to have a solid base in business finance. The ability to estimates costs, budget, and plan is important.
Of course design and the ability to go outside the nine dots is important too, but project management and budget skills are also critical to being any sort of lead on a project.

Someone who can keep a park real and keep a ride original while keeping the ride fresh and changing things little by little. I have to say all the other parks are good but Future World is having a dry spell.
