What’s your dream job?
Well I definitely say that it is not working on a cruise ship. That’s where I am right now and it is quite clear that these guys work super hard for every penny they get.
Ok so what is my dream job. It’s either a travel journalist or a global qualitative researcher.
Travel journalist
Well this would be for the obvious perk of being able to travel the world and be paid for it. It also requires a great deal of curiosity and awareness of everything around you which must be a pretty cool way to travel. I am assuming that I would need to look at things with a very different eye to the average tourist and I would have unconventional experiences in order to create awareness so that others will try it.
Global Qualitative Researcher
I guess I could just say an anthropologist but not all qual researchers are anthropologists. I would like do a lot of observation as I believe that there is so much to learn through just observing people. I would use the outputs to identify new product or service opportunities for companies. Sometimes old products just need a new story and I believe that observation can help identify that story. I would of course need to interview people as well but most of the research would be done through observation.
Both these jobs require connecting dots for people and this is something that really gives me energy.
That’s it from me for today. Thanks for popping by. Be blessed.
