I just came across this in the San Francisco Chronicle.  I’d love to “jump ship and board ship” and work on a cruise ship for awhile.  We’ve tried to get a couple of the cruise lines on board VocationVacations…..but then their attorneys get involved and botch it.  Damn, those attorneys!  :)

Anyway, had to share….are you ready to “jump ship and board ship” with me?

Sometimes I come across things I just need to share.  Here’s an example.  Toby Lux wrote a great piece this morning re: “Finding a Mentor”….forwarding it along to you as I couldn’t agree more:

I just saw this out on CareerBuilder.  Yes, they’re 10 Dream Jobs….but really low-paying ones.  What do you think?  Would you be willing to transition into a dream job if it paid less than $30K a year?  Me?  Probably not, quite honestly.  I’d need to make at least $50K, I think just to keep the home fires burning, ya know.  And I don’t dream of becoming a doll designer.  Now, Brew Master?  Now, we’re talkin’!!!

I’m thrilled to see that well-known career and lifestyle author, Penelope Trunk, has posted an excerpt of my book, Test-Drive Your Dream Job, on her site!  Check out bits of Chapter One….have fun test-driving your dream job….yes, EVEN in this economy (really even more reason to do so, actually!):
