About this title

Synopsis

The career shelf at your local bookstore is packed with guides to finding jobs in perfectly dull professions, but what if you're looking for a real change of pace? NICE JOB! will equip you with all the information you need to swap your career for a lifestyle. This innovative book is packed with detailed profiles on over 80 truly unusual jobs -- from the practical (rare furniture craftsman) to the daring (National Geographic photographer) to the truly bizarre (cadaver makeup technician). Complete with all the facts on each job's benefits, risks, paycheck, and how to get your foot in the door.

About the Author

Jamie Rosen has hatched some of his share of harebrained schemes. He bankrolled a friend to compete?ɬ?and win?ɬ? on television's Jeopardy. He wrote a semi-bogus restaurant guide to get free meals. He flew back and forth between New York and Boston on the Pan Am Shuttle nine times in one day in order to get frequent flier miles, which he used to visit Mongolia, where he unsuccessfully attempted to write the country's first travel guide. He dropped out of business school to start Comet Systems, where he proudly makes the world's best cursor customizing software. Amidst this cacophony of labor, Jamie somehow managed to graduate from Harvard. The LOOKOUT MEDIA team includes JAKE BROOKS, NICHOLAS CORMAN, CHUCK KAPELKE, SARA SMITH, and MICHELLE SULLIVAN. These wacky job experts all wrote for LET'S GO travel guides while at Harvard.
