RoadTrip Nation

Roadtrip nation has long been one of my favourite career information websites.  It was started by some university graduates who took to the road in an old, green RV to solicit career advice from people across the US who had build happy and successful lives for themselves.  Over time, Roadtrip nation interviewed folks like John Legend, Howard Schultz, RL Stine, Questlove, Ira Glass and many many more. The interviews were video taped and eventually compiled into a website full of treasured, sage advice for students.  Unfortunately, the Roadtrip group have recently restricted some site access to paying subscribers (bummer!).  However, you can still see short video clips of interview highlights for free, read the blog and utilize some of their tools. The link above will take you to an interactive self-assessment that invites to you start thinking about how to “mash-up” some of your interests into exciting occupational options –  typically titles emerge that you may have never considered before.  Aside from this webpage, I would also highly recommend Roadtrip Nation’s most recent book “Roadmap”.
