The One Week Job Project - Discover Your Passion!

After graduating from college, Sean Aiken struggled with the question “What should I do with my life?” So he created The One-Week Job Project. His goal: to work fifty-two jobs in fifty-two weeks in search of his passion. He traveled across Canada and the United States reinventing himself as a firefighter, a stock trader, a radio DJ, a martial arts instructor, an NHL mascot, a snowshoe guide and more. During the course of his seven-day stints, Sean discovered many others struggling to answer the question “what should I do with my life?” To find the answer he continued to ask himself and his employers about the nature of success and the real meaning of happiness – all while having the adventure of his life. http://www.oneweekjob.com/documentary/

Join us in the Theatre from 1:00pm – 3:00pm on Student Success Day, March 28, 2013, to see Sean’s journey!
