Sean Aiken is traveling anywhere in the world working 52 different jobs
in 52 weeks while trying to figure out what to do with his life. Instead of paying Aiken for his work, job providers make a donation to the Make
Poverty History/ONE Campaign. He sustains his project through the kindness of
strangers by staying at people's houses each week, taking the bus, hitch hiking
and with the $1,000/month, which NiceJob.ca provides to help with costs. Aiken spent week 46 working as a park ranger at Hawai'i Volcanoes National
Park. He describes the rangers there as very accommodating and more than happy to share their knowledge with him during his exploration of the park. "It was evident they love what they do," he said. Aiken shared his experiences at the park through the following updates on his Web site. Week #46 Announced - Park Ranger
"After
finishing college with a business degree, I made a promise to myself
that I wouldn’t settle for a career that I am not truly passionate
about," Aiken explains on his Web site, OneWeekJob.com. "My goal is to
gain a better understanding of what I need in a career to be happy and
inspire others to go after their passions. Any company or individual
anywhere in the world can offer me a job for one week. The job can be
absolutely anything, anywhere- garbage collection, actor, working the
family farm, a suit and tie corporate position."
