Man Gets 50 Jobs in 50 States in 50 Weeks

Posted by samzenpus on from the previous-experience-in-everything dept.

Dan Seddiqui has spent the past year fighting a one man war on unemployment. After being unable to get a job and finding himself around $150,000 in debt, Dan came up with a scheme in which he would take a year going state to state and trying out the career that each state was most famous for. His favorite job was bartending in Louisiana during the middle of Mardi Gras, and he would be happy to never work on a lobster boat for the rest of his life. Dan learned a lot about people and the country on his journey. Most importantly he learned that publishers are falling over themselves to get the rights to his book. After writing his memoirs, Dan plans on becoming a dietician, a job that he did for a week while in Mississippi.

      He spent more time having the employers teaching him what the job was, than doing the job. See the picture? Who is going to hand a man a 30 inch chain saw, before that man demonstrates that he can HANDLE IT. That's not your silly Weedeater Poulan toy from Walmart. Major waste of time and resources.
