Career Tips from the man…Chip Foose

April 4, 2009 by Butler--BCRN 1 Comment

I mentioned in the March newsletter that it’s time to enroll.  Therefore, I thought it would be a good opportunity for you to hear how Chip Foose got his start.  Foose says to follow your passion and take the time to network with others, when the opportunity arises.

I agree with Foose.  You’re going to spend a long time doing whatever career you choose.  So you might as well do what you’re passionate about.  Life is too short not to be happy.  I also commend Chip for following the advise that his father gave him.  “If you’re going to do something, do your absolute best and do it right, or don’t do it at all.”  I’ve physically seen a few of the vehicles that they’ve done on the TV show Overhaulin’ and I can testify that he lives by the words of wisdom his father taught him.
If you are interested in an automotive career, I recommend that you take a few minutes to watch the video, and hear the man himself, Chip Foose.
