How To Find '50 Jobs In 50 States'

50jobs0316.jpg

Like lots of college grads, Daniel Seddiqui was having a hard time finding a job. But despite more than forty rejections, he knew opportunities had to exist. So in 2009 he set out on an extraordinary quest: 50 jobs in 50 states in 50 weeks. And not just any jobs -- he chose professions that reflected the culture and economy of each state.

Working as everything from a cheesemaker in Wisconsin, a border patrol agent in Arizona, and a meatpacker in Kansas to a lobsterman in Maine, a surfing instructor in Hawaii, and a football coach in Alabama, Daniel chronicles how he adapted to the wildly differing people, cultures, and environments. We'll talk to him about his journey, what he learned and what he's doing now.
