Many moons ago, before the thought of creating anything Titanic for a living was even possible, the draftsman was doodling away as a high school freshman...
Entering the school year with an interest in architecture, taking a class in CAD seemed like a good choice. One of the projects he did (for fun) was plotting out the entire Chrysler Building using photo references. I'm sure there are many errors, but it was quite a long and tedious undertaking, especially to undertake after lunch.
Rumor has it that a copy was still hanging in the high school's drafting room until the building was demolished to make way for a new one in 2019.
The point of this post, while not Titanic related, is that you never know where things will take you. A degree in architecture was not on the cards, but those four years of drafting from high school have really come in handy later in life.
Follow your dreams!
