Like many of us, eight year-old Sam Johnson dreamed of working for LEGO someday. He ambitiously wrote to the company asking for advice on how he could get a job working for them. LEGO sent him back some career advice - which Sam proceeded to follow for the next fifteen years. Now, at 23, he's landed a job at Bilund as a Junior Designer. Says a LEGO spokesperson, "Sam's case is very special, since he so determinedly followed the advice he got from us about employment when he was a young boy."

If you have a STEAM account, and would like to play some games
(Team Fortress 2, League of Legends, Torchlight 2, Left 4 Dead 2) with me or other BZPers, PM me with your steam name, or add Side E-Fect.

Yeah, this is pretty old. :P

 

I'm really good friends with Sam, actually. He even tweeted me once telling me how much of a fan he was of The Ninjago Wiki, and then offered to do a review with us. (funny how that review of mine was also featured on BZPower News, and now we're finally getting news that he became a LEGO designer.) :P

This is really cool, especially with how hard it is to get a job these days. Congrats to him. :)

Is it just me or did I see this on here before? Still, congrats to him for getting the job.

Credits go to Strack for the awesome sprite.

 

I'm an Emerging Fluidic Master (again). Time to start working on my Waterbending.
I'm still a ninja although I think I'm losing my skills as one.

For a second I thought this would have something to do with child labor.

And thanks to Black Six for all those proto boosts he gave me over the years.
