On Dream Jobs
What do you love doing so much that you'd do it for free? Geoffrey Canada, founder of the pioneering urban school, the Harlem Children's Zone, wrote, "the perfect job is the one you would do without pay." He also said that he found that type of work from following his passion, and helping his community.
So we wanted to know, what kind of work you would do if you could pick any job on earth. Our friends at Echoing Green offered to help make it happen for one big-dreaming winner.
Echoing Green has been cultivating young leaders trying to tackle big social problems for decades with their social enterprise fellowship, and they just released a new book about merging passion and profession called Work On Purpose by Lara Galinsky. Lara will give a career coaching session to one winner who designed his/her dream job. Five runners-up will get a copy of her book. Winners to be announced soon.
For now, here's a sampling of some of our favorite dream jobs from the community.
