Test Drive Your Dream Career while on Vacation
January 11, 2007
Who would pay to work? A company called Vocation Vacations is hedging that a number of people will pay a fee to experience their dream job or maybe satisfy a curiosity, ”What if I made that investment and became a brew master of my own micro brewery? Followed my dreams and became a wedding coordinator? Took broadcasting in college to become an announcer at a sporting event?”
If you visit their web site, the company contends that they are offering you a risk-free chance to try your dream job without having to quit your current job or in the case of an entrepreneur, make a huge financial commitment. Pay them a fee and you’ll be matched with a mentor who will show you the ropes and allow you to learn about and experience the career you are interested in.
The web site lists a diverse array of available occupation experiences including actor, public relations firm owner, photographer, pit crew member, park ranger and hotel manager, while future opportunities include zoo manager, pet groomer, news reporter and dance club manager.
It’s a real fun idea and I have to admit I am the type of person who finds this idea quite compelling. I am quite happy doing what I am doing, but it’s always fun to get out of your element and try new experiences.
