Living with Lyft, or traveling
the country sleeping on couches and making money by using my car as a taxi, has
made it possible to explore a world of careers options, have in-depth
conversations with the people who work them, and even do some shadowing.
The following is just a list of
the jobs of all the people with whom I’ve stayed while Couchsurfing; the list
does not include who I met while Lyfting, people I've befriended while
traveling, or jobs I've interviewed for, shadowed, or otherwise observed along
the way.
The purpose of this list is to
exemplify just how effective Living with Lyft is for the exploration of jobs
and generating networking opportunities.
