I just found a website for an interesting company called VocationVacations®. The company sends you on a vacation to try out a vocation.
Have you ever wanted to be:
- An alpaca rancher?
- A bed and breakfast owner?
- A chef?
- A dude rancher?
- An interior designer?
- A private investigator?
- A sailing boat captain?
- A wine bar owner, vineyard owner, or wine retailer?
There are many more possibilities. The deal is that you go on vacation to try out a vacation. I’m guessing the value of the experience may vary, and you really can’t tell what it would be like to be, state, a chef, by just working a couple of days. But if you go with lots of questions to be answered, you pay attention, and you really concentrate on both the positives and the negatives, you could have a great experience and learn about a potential great next career.
Sounds great to me - I’m considering the PI thing. Maybe I could use the experience to write a mystery novel.
