It takes a wide range of disciplines to successfully design, build, and operate theme parks. Who should run WDI is another story. As WDI is part of a corporation, anyone in charge of WDI must be able to work with whoever is over them in the corporation. Ken "SFH" Pellman Kenversations[at]flash[dot]net

The attitude towards students at my high school was YOU WILL GO TO COLLEGE or you will end up drinking liquor out of a paper bag, sitting in the gutter of Fremont Avenue. So, of course I was planning to go to college. And I did. But John said he asked because he didn't. He didn't go to college and yet here he was showing me some great design work. It takes all types. I know some very talented people who didn't go to college. They have educated themselves and practiced their skills to refine them. I'm the kind of guy who needed to go to college, but still learned the most on my own. WDI needs a mix. SFH
