By Shellie Bailey-Shah and KATU Web StaffPORTLAND, Ore. - Ever wish you could test drive a new career with no commitment and no risk? A company called VocationVacations offers just that, for a fee of course. Owner and founder Brian Kurth offers one to three-day vacations where you try a different career. "You're working it," he explained. "It's hands on. You're getting down and dirty in the nitty gritty. It's truly a reality check. It's personal and professional due diligence." The cost ranges anywhere from $549 to $3,000. VocationVacations has 300 mentors in 30 states. If you would like to be a mentor, there is a stipend. |
