Living The Map

Daniel Seddiqui has recently completed his mission to work 50 different jobs in 50 states. He has been everything from a Rodeo Announcer in South Dakota, a Model in North Carolina, a Marine Biologist in Washington, to a Border Patrol Agent in Arizona. Why would anyone put themselves through such a grueling experience? Daniel says, “My goal was to help Americans understand each other's lives, respect each other's hard work and stimulate peoples' curiosity about different lifestyles.” “I was on a mission to explore the many careers, environments, and cultures that America has to offer. I was unaware of what life was like outside my 'bubble'; for that matter, a majority of Americans are unaware of the opportunities that exist in the United States. One person could become a successful farmer in Nebraska, while another could become a widely acclaimed movie director in California. I wanted to explore the lifestyle that each state has to offer by choosing one career per state; a career that is popular and represented that state.” Through his website Livingthemap.com, as well as Facebook and Twitter, millions followed Daniel’s cross-country adventure, as he worked at an insurance broker in Connecticut, a golf caddie in Hawaii, a sugarmaker in Vermont, and an auto mechanic in Michigan, just to name a few of his many "professions."
