Synopsis:
A year and a half after he graduated from college, Sean Aiken found himself struggling to answer the question “What should I do with my life?” His mother suggested teaching. His older sister told him to apply for an entry-level corporate position. His father said, “it doesn’t matter what you do, just make sure it’s something you’re passionate about.”
Taking his father’s advice to heart, Sean created The One Week Job Project and embarked on an epic journey to find his passion. His goal – work 52 jobs in 52 weeks.
After the launch of his website, OneWeekJob.com, the offers began pouring in. His first gig was—literally—jumping off a bridge, as bungee operator in British Columbia. From there he traveled across Canada and the United States, reinventing himself as a firefighter, aquarium host, radio DJ, martial arts instructor, NHL mascot, and snowshoe guide.
During the course of his seven-day stints, from a Florida stock trading floor to a cattle ranch in the wilds of Wyoming to a real estate office in Beverly Hills, Sean found time to make new friends and even fall in love. Whether choosing a spring fashion line, brewing beer, or milking a cow, Sean continued to ask himself and others about the nature of success and the real meaning of happiness—all while having the adventure of his life.
Inventive and empowering, witty and wise, The One-Week Job Project is a book that will give you the courage to follow your passion. Or, as Mark Twain said, “Explore. Dream. Discover.”
