Synopsis

When Laura Dodd started talking with her twentysomething peers about working, it didn't take long for her to see that people are passionate about the jobs they do and the jobs they'd like to do. What started as a few questions mushroomed into a viral discussion that is energizing and inspiring young professionals around the globe. Hundreds of interviews later, Dodd transforms the career horizon with Dig This Gig, a modern-day Working for millennials.

Meet an array of dynamic young people--from genetics counselors to adventure guides to food bloggers-- and get their firsthand views of entirely new fields taking off because of technological, demographic, and cultural shifts.

  3. Graduated from Washington University in St. Louis.
  4. Favorite foods: Thanksgiving dinner-anything
  5. I'm a pretty decent skier but do not like the trees.
  6. Lived in Los Angeles after college working in television and film production
  7. Addendum to #6 -- spent a lot of time "paying my dues" in the "assistant" track
  8. I currently live in New York City
