Hello I'm a Pear, Hello I'm an Apple

Apple's 3D Modeler Opening Could Be Your Dream Job
Not to turn this into a secondary job board for Apple or anything, but they're opening up a position for a digital 3D modeler/CAD sculptor to create renderings of possible and future products. It's interesting because the turnover there for the position is really low, and it may be the only time you get a chance to get into that position for a few years. Plus, it pays quite a lot more than usual design jobs. [Dezeen via Cultofmac]
