SuperDave Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 This is an interesting story that has been receiving some press lately. Daniel Seddiqui, a 26 year old U.S. citizen from some state. Not sure where his permanent residence was prior to this. He is trying to work 50 different careers or jobs in 50 weeks. After graduating from USC he got turned off by trying to find a career path for himself and was rejected for 40+ positions he applied for. So he decided to do this. Each week will be a different job that is very well connected to each indivual state. Here's the link to the website. Not sure if I like the idea of him selling t-shirts to promote this. He has photo galleries for each career he has worked. He is now in week 20 in Houston, Texas working as a petroleum engineer. See what you think. http://livingthemap.com/Living_the_Map/Thi.../This_Week.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I partially think this guy is doing it for the notoriety and a possible book or movie deal to see if he can do it. Selling t-shirts may be a bit much. Even when someone says it's not about the money...it's always about the money. That's JMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when you need to get a life. Just looking for his Andy Warhol moment. I'm sure there are far better ways to get notoriety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigzepfan Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I've always wanted to visit every state. I definitely would not want to WORK in every state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigzepfan Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 It seems that anybody who can come up with somethng new can get some sort of notoriety. No matter how absurd there will be people who are interested. Must say it must have been interesting for the kid. Most people don't work fifty different jobs in their life.

spats Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Maybe the dude will get a job out of it. He hasn't been able to find work. it's hard for people to find jobs these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoRockNRoll Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 The man just hates routine. Maybe he won't get anything of this, but experience. And only experience is worth working, of course if he thinks it's good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Given how bad things are job wise, I'm amazed he's finding a job in every state number one, and number two, who's hiring someone that's only there for such a brief stint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docron Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Did this idiot forget that Michigan is part of the United States? Good luck, faggy attention whore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 If this guy isn't being paid in cash, well then he'll have a grand time doing his taxes next year. Fifty W-2s...what a nightmare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
