Description
The remarkable story of a college graduate who decides to travel the country working the quintessential job of each state.
Like many college grads, Daniel Seddiqui had a hard timefinding a job after college. Despite facing over forty rejections frompotential employers, he knew there had to be an opportunity for him out theresomewhere - after all, this was America, land of opportunity! So he set out on to work 50 jobs in 50 states, and this extraordinary adventure led him to discover the many industries,opportunities, and cultures America has to offer.
Daniel tried everything:he became a cheese maker in Wisconsin, a border patrol agent in Arizona, a meatpacker in Kansas, and asurfing instructor in Hawaii. In the book, he chronicles how he adapted to theunique demands of every job as well as to the wildly differing people,cultures, and environments.
By the end of his journey, Danielhad more than just an impressive resume - he had also acquired scores of newfriends, a new perspective on American culture, and the tools to overcome justabout any obstacle. By remaining persistent, using his networks, taking somecalculated risks, and being adaptable to whatever life would throw at him, hewas able to endure year of vastly unique experience, never quite knowing whatthe next week would bring.

"Seddiqui gives a voice and hope to a generation of job seekers and graduates. His inspiring can-do spirit is contagious and his quest to get 50 jobs in 50 states puts the PATH in career path, the JOURNEY in journeyman. This is the best book by a bartending Amish-wood-woodworking, rodeo-announcing archaeologist that you’ll ever read." -- Kelsey Timmerman, Author of Where Am I Wearing?
