where would you work?
Question: If you could work anywhere for the knowledge or experience for three months, where would you work?
Criteria: It’s not about the money, it’s about the experience or knowledge that you receive by working there.
Mine:
- Starbucks - I think it’d be cool to learn and understand the thousands of types of coffee, how to make them, and what they are all about
- Panera Bread Company - Again, I think it would be cool to learn how to bake and make all the different kinds of breads and pastries
- NFL Sideline Photographer - To develop my photography skills in an environment that I love!
- Yahoo’s Strategic Planning Group - I don’t know if they really have one, but it would be so cool to be part of a large company playing ‘catch-up’ to Google, yet leading in the social marketing area (as a portal).

Mine would be:
1. Printing press place - to learn about the printer process
2. Starbucks - same reason as Rob
3. Assistant to a Fashion Designer - to learn tips and tricks of the design and sewing process
4. The Corporate Office of Mrs. Fields - to learn the business side of the cookie company’s success

Here’s mine:
1. Magazine Editor - something girly like RealSimple or InStyle.
2. Fashion Designer (like Patricia).
3. I’d love to work on the set of a Cooking Show, like Paula Dean’s show or Bobby Flay.
4. Along the same lines, I’d love to learn from the chef at a ritzy restaurant…something European. I would love to learn to cook fabulous meals that have some simplicity to them.
We really had a great time at dinner with you guys yesterday. Thanks! We’ll have to do that again soon.

1. A fine woodworker’s shop; intern with Norm Abrams from New Yankee Workshop to hone my skills as a carpenter learning from the best.
2. Lowes/Home Depot or Best Buy so that I can buy everything at cost! Electronics are great, but power tools are where it’s at!
3. For an NFL team breaking down film and stats to create a game day chart.
4. Lego as an inhouse designer.
