Here are two sites...

...I'd like to recommend: Living the Map and JoeNeedsAJob.

The first is by a guy named Daniel Seddiqui who wrote 50 Jobs in 50 States. The book is pretty much what it sounds like: the author traveled around the country and worked at fifty jobs in fifty states in fifty weeks. Not only that, but he worked at jobs that were characteristic of each state. For example, he worked as a coal miner in West Virginia, a lobsterman in Maine and a cheesemaker in Wisconsin. It's a good read.

(Seddiqui lives in the Chicago area now; if you get a chance to hear him speak -- like I did -- take it! Like Garrison Keillor, he's actually a better speaker than a writer.)

As for the second site, that's my son Joe's new blog about his life after college. Like father, like son!
