50 Jobs in 50 States

If you haven’t been following this story, here is a quick recap of where we stand as of today, Sunday September 20th. A University of Southern California (USC) Graduate, Daniel Seddiqui, is attempting to work 50 jobs in 50 states. You might think this is not the best timing for something like this, not to mention that he has to do this in..guess how many weeks? Yep, 50 weeks to get 50 jobs in 50 different states.

Currently Daniel is moving in to week 50 and contemplating what job he should take in California, his home state. According to a poll on his site (you can follow his progress via Facebook and/or Twitter also @DanielSeddiqui), 42% think he should find something in a winery and another 33% say TV/Film industry job would be the way to go. He has also learned manufacturing in Minnesota, Drove Tractors in South Dakota and made maps as a cartographer somewhere else.

This all came about when he had a hard time finding a job in his local area with his Economics background, now he has 49 new jobs in 49 different areas to put on his resume, LOL. I’m guessing he will be able to find something much better when this is all over with, which will be very soon.

The introduction on his site explains,

“I’m Daniel Seddiqui and I’ve traveled all 50 states. I’ve worked 49 different careers in 49 weeks. One week to go. Sound crazy? My mission is to explore the diverse careers, environments, and cultures offered in America. Take a look, you may find the perfect job.”

Below is a video of an interview with Daniel on FoxNews about 7 months ago before embarking on his trek, and if it makes any difference I would vote for trying to get a job at a winery in the state of CA. for his final gig, but the TV/Film industry job might be better if he befriends someone who might want to parlay this in to something bigger. Congrats Daniel!
