Why Am I Doing This?
I have learned a lot about myself through travel, which has provided me with many great life experiences, yet has not provided too much work experience and I still have no idea what I want to do.
After finishing my degree, I made a promise to myself that I would not settle for a career that I am not truly passionate about. Not realizing where these passions lie, I came up with the idea for One Week Job.
My goal is to gain a better understanding of what my ideal career would look like and inspire the many others of my generation in similar situations to commit to going after their passions.
People always say that we should go after what keeps us up at night, no matter how unconventional it may seem or how many people tell us that we can’t do it. Well this was one of the crazy ideas I had running through my head keeping me up at night, so I decided to take the leap and go for it.
I hope you join me for the journey!

I am glad that you made the ‘leap’ Sean!
Sean,
wow, this is amazing what you are doing. Good luck with it, I wish you all the best. hoefully you find what you are looking for and help all these children along the way!
im mad at you.
because i wish i had thought of this idea!! (hey, it says speak your mind)
hope you find what youre lookinf for. good luckkkkkk
I can totally relate to your passion for seeking direction. I wonder if there is a career you can make out of that… Maybe this is it. Im sure you have been an inspiration to people so far and you havent even begun! Good luck.
Hi Sean, great work you do indeed, feeding hurgry children in Canada. Thanks! Not many know about that problem or choose to ingnore it or just accept that it is so. And you do something about it, you are one in a million!
Do you have any offers from Greenpeace in Canada. They watch over things that are not rightly done and try to make it known to the public. It might be interesting for you to be with them for a week, because you do something that looks the same to me with feeding the hungry Kids.
You still have to know what your heart desire is.
Best wishes for the future and be safe.
Regards,
Heather
Awesome Idea Sean! Read your column earlier on 24! *_* Goodluck with everything!
I think you are doing your career Sean. You have found it. It is not traditional, it is however creative
You are a self employed entrepreneur and won’t be happy unless you are inventing something new
Keep up the good work buddy
What was your degree in?
Alan
Thanks for the comments!
Kimberly, maybe you and anyone else who would like to will get a chance. I am working on it;)
Great idea Heather!
I think you might be right Alan, we will see if it can be a career. My degree was in Business Administration. You can read more about me in the Learn more about me section.

This is the best idea that anyone has ever had! I understand the strong drive to find your passion as I am searching for mine right now. Cudos to you for being so brave as to follow your bliss! This is awesome!
I have watched a few of your video clips. You seem like a curious, patient, articulate and adventurous person. Have you thought about having a career as a journalist which includes obtaining a bachelor’s degree in journalism or communications?
Thanks Crystal!
Danlu, I never thought of being a journalist when I was in school, though since I have started the project, I think that I might like to try it out. Maybe as a One Week Job?
Te felicito Sean por este proyecto, mueves las ideas de muchas personas y pones un ejemplo de como seguir el sueño de encontrarse a uno mismo. buena suerte y si alguna vez estas en Ecuador no dudes en contactarme.
“Its Life,for life is dream,for now its you,who worked for dream.”
Great to see you achieving your dream, buddy.Best of luck for your adventure.Its great to know you.
Hey Sean you are an inspiration. You should come sell cellular phones with me at Sam’s Club (AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint)! I am going to chase my dream of being a Sport’s Broadcaster…take care and good luck in your travels!
Awesome. I’ve got too many strings to do this, but I am inspired and will live vicariously through your adventure. I might even contribute.
[...] Congratulations on this inventive and oh so cool career move, Sean. And if anyone has a job for him or wants to give him a place to stay or simply meet him, you can contact him through his website: One Week Job. [...]
I had this idea too about 2 years ago when I graduated from Medical School!!! I wanted to make sure that medicine was my passion and not just “the next step”! The difference between us? I’m a GEN X female over 30 with a little hesitation. The other difference? I couldn’t figure out a way to fund my project or see how I would get anyone to give me a job for such a short period of time!! HOW DID YOU DO IT? It seems we are like minds except you had the ability to work out the kinks!! I’ve been racking my brains for the past two years and found out about your website when I mentioned my idea to someone (with a little twist because I was trying to figure how to pay for it). They said someone was already doing what you’re thinking about!! Of course I had to stop by and see what it it’s all about and indeed…YOU ARE doing something right up my alley. Congratulations on Not settling. Back to the drawing board for me!!! http://www.springfieldsurbanedge.com
