One Week Job Page #6

where I'm staying tomorrow.

That's one thing

with the project

that I have to learn

is that it's constantly

changing, you know,

and you can never take something

for granted at all.

You just gotta go with the flow

and take it one day at a time,

or one week at a time.

So here we are, CNN,

time for an interview.

I'm going live, nation-wide,

across the U.S. Yeah.

Hey, I'm on CNN.

All right, still trying

to decide

what you want to be

when you grow up?

Well, you'd better

join the club,

because one man

is taking

an unusual approach

to uncovering his passion.

He's working 52 jobs

in 52 weeks.

Sean, are you feeling okay?

I mean, why 52 jobs in 52 weeks?

Well, it's a good question.

I finished my college degree

and I had no idea what

I wanted to do for a career.

Just got back

from my interview,

got a bunch of different emails

from people,

actually, offers in Miami,

which is awesome,

because that's where

I was looking to go,

and also willing to actually

help with the transportation

to get me down there.

There I go.

After that, I don't know

what I'll be doing.

Guess that keeps life

interesting.

So I just arrived in Miami,

starting work tomorrow,

going to be working

as an exterminator

with a pest control

inspection company,

so that's that.

Kind of having an issue

with the project right now.

As the project continues

to grow, you know,

more companies are interested

in the publicity opportunities

that come along with hiring me.

It's kind of really difficult

to balance that

and the aspect of actually

trying to figure out

if that job's for me.

I'm working here

in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

this week,

with Horowitz and Company.

I'm going to be a stock trader.

When I was in college,

I was really interested

in the stocks,

and that really excited me,

and so I'm really excited

to kind of learn more

about how everything works

in the stock market.

I don't necessarily think

that I always had that

as a burning desire

that I wanted to do this,

but as I get more and more

understanding

of what it could do for others

and how I could then

really do well,

and you stepped into it,

and it was like, wham!

You know, you get this

incredible jolt of energy.

It's pretty exciting

from start to finish.

I have a feeling that it's going

to go back up.

It's got one last surge in it

for the day,

and then I'm going to get out.

While you have control

of what you do,

the markets

have the ultimate control.

The economy

has the ultimate control.

Unfortunately,

with the incredible amount

of stress involved in it,

it kind of sometimes

is very overwhelming.

All this pressure...

Go, go, go, go. Come on.

You know, you want to hang on,

and it's easy to become

over greedy

and try and stick in there,

and you can end up

getting burned.

I, you know, if it was me here,

I'd dump the stock.

I would take my profit, move on,

look for something else,

or just kind of go away happy

because the fact of the matter

is that an extra two or three

cents is not going to...

The stock

doesn't care about you.

It doesn't?

No, it doesn't care about you.

Right now I'm focused

all my attention on one stock,

and how many stocks are there,

you know, in just

the New York stock exchange.

I could be watching

other stocks,

and maybe other ones are moving,

you could be making money there,

but you can get wrapped up

in one.

You don't always have to do

what you've always done.

You have to be flexible...

you have to be extremely

flexible, especially today.

And there's an amazing amount

of things out there

that you can do.

It's not the career

that defines you, you know,

you are the definition

of who you are,

and a career is just a conduit

to what you want to do

ultimately in life.

Ultimately in life.

Here I am in New York.

Lan's coming back on the road

to do some more filming.

Danna's going to come

on the road for a few days.

I'm really excited to see her.

You know,

it's been a while, and...

I hadn't seen Sean

in a few months,

and I was quite anxious

to get to New York.

There's so much happening

with the project right now too.

Lots of medias picking up,

so we haven't been able

to talk too much

on the phone or anything.

And I wasn't sure

if things had maybe changed him,

or if he was different.

I don't know.

I'm excited to see

where it's all going to lead.

I was worried that maybe

he didn't have time for the girl

from Trois-Pistoles anymore.

This week I'm in Manhattan.

I'm a fashion buyer.

Kind of a little nervous

about what I'm wearing.

I think she might be

a little critical.

- Hey, guys!

- How's it going?

Here, have a seat.

We take this business

really seriously.

It's going to be,

you know, kind of intense.

Like when a designer calls me up

and says,

"I have something so out there

and so new and so...!"

You know what that means to me?

Not sellable.

And they are like,

"Oh, I'm an artist..."

You know what?

Art belongs in a museum.

This is fashion.

Fashion goes in retail.

Okay, Sean, so we are here.

We are at one of the buildings

in the garment center.

We are going to be doing,

I was going to a showroom,

so we are actually going

to place an order

for one of our stores.

So the next step is,

pull out the pieces

that you don't like...

And then work

with the ones that we do like.

Actually...

That dress

was really a winner,

and so was the tuxedo shirt.

I don't know...

well, I mean, like,

those ones, I guess...

I still don't like that dress.

Beatrice, how has that

been selling for you?

This has been one of

our best-seller dresses.

Hmm.

Fine.

And when Mercedes was like,

"Sean, you're

doing this by yourself."

I was, like...

"What? What do you mean?"

I had no idea, like,

no background information

about the client,

but I just went with it,

and I was able to just kind of

figure it out as I went

by asking questions

and kind of drawing upon

what I had been doing

the last couple days,

and then kind of

hearing the words

and the lingo that is used,

and I think it turned out

really well.

At any age,

you can make a change.

I think that the biggest thing

is fear.

I live with it

every single day.

I wake up and I'm like,

"Oh, my god,

am I going to be able

to make payroll this week?

Are we going to be able

to find a new client?

What's the next adventure,

what's the next retailer,

what's the next designer..."

But that fear,

it keeps your passion going,

and keeps you alive,

and keeps you moving.

This week I'll be a baker

with One Girl Cookies.

I'm looking forward

to really getting in there

and working with my hands

and learning about

the baking process,

and obviously trying out

some tasty treats.

Alright, are you guys ready?

Ready.

People, I think, feel

frustrated with their jobs

when they come in

and push papers around

and at the end of the day,

they don't really know

what they did.

I had a number of jobs
