Do My Job for A Week

I have to admire Sean Aiken. He's a young guy who's not quite sure what to do with his life, so he come up with a creative way to try out lots of different fields, all the while doing something valuable for others. He embarked on a "one job per week" campaign that is now on week 49. He's donating his "pay" to charity, living on the charity of strangers and on $1,000 per month donated by a sponsor. I just learned about it this morning...otherwise, I might have adapted and adopted his approach by now. The list of his previous jobs looks interesting...at least some of them do.

Ever since reading about this, I've been wondering...can I adapt this somehow in a way that would be fun and informative, both for to me and for others? I think I'm on to a idea. Here's a possibility: I'll offer people the opportunity to do my job (I'll be available to answer questions, coach, and jump in if necessary) for one week, in return for a donation to a charity.

It would be good for takers' resumés (OK, it may not impress you, but some people would be impressed by "served a one-week stint as president of small corporation as part of a donation to a charity"). It would be good for me (something new, a challenge to deal with many other personalities, an opportunity to raise money for charities).

Since I can't really reveal my true identity here for fear of a backlash from clients I've complained about or who are deeply Republican, I'll have to formalize the offer on a different blog, then swear it wasn't me.
