sooooo...thre was this advert for some jobs at OMA ny.
i say to myself, whattheheck, i can wack a few pages together, send em a pdf...and i did.
that got me wondering, what makes you apply for a job where
-there will be thousands of applicants
-the criteria for selection is beyond human understanding (at least mine!)
-you have no inside knowledge or connections
do you just go for it? do you look at your portfolio and think you have a real chance? just wondering if anyone has applied to work for a starchitect, what went thru their mind, and if anyone succeded.

if you work for a boring firm, is it possible to emerge from that boringness and start your own really awesome firm? or is your mind stuck?

Stuck?? The only way you can get stuck, Chase, is by thinking there's only one true path to happiness and success. There are tons of things to do out there, thankfully.
