Daniel Seddiqui: "Living the Map: 50 Jobs in 50 States" By: Staff Aug 26, 2009
Alaska is state no. 48, where he'll work as a photographer with Clark James Mishler
Twenty-seven-year-old Daniel Seddiqui has spent the last year working a different job in a different state one week at a time. Now in his 48th week, he’s calling Anchorage home, and is working with local photographer Clark James Mishler. His journey started when he couldn’t find employment after college.
His philosophy: When life hands you lemons, think outside the box. Daniel is on a mission to explore various careers, environments and cultures that America has to offer. He started his travels nearly one year ago and has only Hawaii and his home state, California, remaining. He has worked as a marine biologist in Seattle, WA; a rodeo announcer in Sioux Falls, SD; a wedding coordinator in Las Vegas, NV; a petroleum engineer in Houston, TX; and several other surprising gigs.
Hear Daniel speak about his adventures this Thursday, Aug. 27 at 9:30 p.m. in the Gorsuch Commons (Room 107) on UAA’s campus. The Gorsuch Commons is located on Elmore Drive, near student housing. Parking is available in the visitor lot on the south side of the Commons.
Visit to listen to an NPR report about Daniel’s travels. Check out Daniel’s Web site at to see where he’s been and what he’s done.
Event sponsored by Career Services Center and Student Activities.
