Why Didn't I Think of This?

I have discovered my dream job. Sadly, someone is already doing it.

Sean Aiken, a 25 year old from Canada, has decided that he doesn't know what his passion in life is, at least not in terms of what he wants to do for a living. So he had the incredible idea of doing a different job each week, for one year. Of course, he is chronicling this adventure in a blog, called One Week Job. The way the media world is working right now, he will most likely have a book deal at the end of the year, and then will probably sell the rights to his story to some major Hollywood production company, who will probably make it into a movie starring Shia LeBoeuf or Zac Efron.

Regardless of the outcome of this adventure, it sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me. This guy gets to travel the country, meet lots of different people, try out 52 different careers, and just write about it.

Maybe this is the way life should be. In our ADD-ridden culture, people move from job to job frequently. So why not make a permanent career out of it? The advertising world, with its seemingly revolving door system of hiring and firing, scares the crap out of me. Our grandparents had the same jobs for 50 years, but do those kind of careers exist anymore? The job market drastically changed from our grandparents' generation to our parents' generation, and who knows what will happen with ours. Variety is the spice of life, and I think this guy is spicing it up perfectly.
