Hello everyone, I'm Michael, 16 at the moment. I've had my license for a couple months now, big fan of ferraris as well. I drive a '92 Mercedes 400E, built like a tank and floats along like a cloud. I live in an area devoid of any trace of Ferrari, but I visit Ferrari dealers if I happen to be nearby. I'm currently an intern at an engineering firm nearby, and I hope to be able to figure out what it takes to be a Ferrari owner when the time is right. I know a Ferrari probably isn't the right car for a 16 year old, but hopefully when I'm older and can afford to support myself and expensive lifestyles, I'll know what I like. I think I'd have a 458 Spider if I were given the option, and probably say the 250 GT Lusso is the prettiest. Thanks!
I am by no means a Ferrari owner, but if there is one piece of advice that I can give you- live in the moment. The fcar will pay for itself when the time comes, so until that happens all you have to do is work hard and play hard. Blimey, I wish I had rehearsed that when I started university last year! Engineering firm? What sort? I too am an engineering student. Remember that you are still young at heart so go out into the world and make a few mistakes before going into the big bucks! Sorry guys if you don't agree with my view, seems like hard work and persistence will undoubtedly pay off with something in the end. Michael.
It's a civil engineering company. It's an unpaid internship, but I'm lucky to be gaining the experience, which should definitely give me an edge when I'm looking for a job later on. I'm planning on going to study engineering at the Politecnico di Torino for college, hopefully I will be given an internship at Ferrari (that's often how college works in Italy; you go to class a couple times a week and then work with a company towards your degree). I'm planning on Automotive and Industrial Engineering, and Architectural later on when I've become better at speaking Italian.
Any sort of industry based experience is an excellent magnet for attention on your resume and should you get employment in such an area would be excellent! You have already started your work towards a particular and undoubtedly will not need any further help from anyone else but yourself. I am doing a Bachelors degree in Electrical engineering and currently vying for a paid internship over in Austria for a few weeks next year, in any case that shouldn't back up plan is to continue on at university and not bum around (which seems to be inevitable in any case). Personally, I would advise in studying a mechanical, civil, chemical or electrical degrees only because it seems that everything else revolves around a firm basis of that. Setting yourself up with a basis of commonality can also promote your chances in employability over multiple fields, whereas specifically targeting an individual area within a field reduces the pool for employment and the it relies on yourself to work extra hard on gaining as much knowledge as possible over a variety of differing topics related and unrelated to the course of study. Yep. That is a VERY big sentence. Michael. Favourite ca(s): F40, 246.
