"Happiness is an inside job" --William Arthur Ward
52 Weeks, 52 Jobs
Fifty-two jobs in 52 weeks may sound horrific to some, but that's Sean Aiken's goal. Aiken's job-shopping odyssey began in February 2007, after he graduated as a class valedictorian with an undergrad degree, but no idea what to do for a living. Aiken's solution? To direct his passion into his job search by creating a personal employment agency on the Web. On his site, www.oneweekjob.com, he solicits weeklong job offers, documents the experience and donates all his earnings to a non-profit. Among other jobs he's worked as a yoga instructor, florist, stock trader, baker and caregiver.
BE THE CHANGE
Sean is now on Week 52 - his job? Serving as Mayor of his hometown! If you could work anywhere you wanted for 1 week where would that be?
