Fifty Jobs in Fifty Weeks
Daniel was disappointed as he walked out of his 40th job interview. He couldn't believe he had failed 40 interviews. He just finished his university study and needed to get a job fast. He was almost broke(身无分文的). He decided that he would start a new project called “Living the Map”. He wanted to get 50 jobs in 50 states in only 50 weeks.
Daniel's idea may sound crazy, but it is really clever. Daniel said that one of his goals was to get as much job experience as possible. He was still not sure what kind of job he really wanted. The best way to find out was to try out different types of jobs. So, he tried to get jobs that were related to each state's identity(特点). For example, Michigan is famous for having a lot of car factories, so during his week in Michigan, he worked as a mechanic. Wisconsin is known for its cheese, so he was a cheese maker there. In Vermont he made maple syrup, and in Maryland he was a crab chef.
Daniel not only had fun trying all kinds of interesting jobs， but he also made 60, 000 dollars and became famous. He plans to publish a book about what he learned from his project. In the beginning, Daniel wanted to get as much job experience as possible, but instead became famous- or was he hoping to become famous from the beginning? You decide, Whatever he had in mind, it looks like there are many more jobs in his future.
