from manhattan to legoland

can you believe this guy? he used to be a hotshot manhattan corporate lawyer reportedly earning a six-figure salary. he vowed to give it all up if he won as master builder at a lego competition--and he did. he's now living his childhood dream job, that of building large-scale sculptures with lego blocks at california's legoland, with a meager salary of $13 an hour.

when asked about his radical career change, he simply said, "money isn't everything." i guess after earning millions of dollars for a while, you can afford to say that. hehe.

meet nathan sawaya, and marvel at his masterpieces.



(i think he's cute with those dimples.)
