This site is great, and I would suggest everyone take a quick glance. There are some broken links, although the menus on the right side seem fully functional.
"Millions of Americans are asking these questions as they struggle to make ends meet and worry about the future. They're playing by new rules that, far from giving them a fair deal, leave them feeling short-changed. In fact, the evidence that the vast majority of Americans are giving more and getting less from their jobs isn't just clear, it's overwhelming." - Workplace Fairness
It is amazing what the world tolerates. Most of the world's wealth is owned by 1% of the world's population, and most of us tolerate this due to fear and lack of education.

"Let's face it, most of us spend the majority of our waking moments at work -- and yet few of us are actually doing work that we're passionate about. But who says it has to be that way? VocationVacations is the only company of its kind. We offer our clients (“vocationers”) one- to- three day, hands-on, dream job immersion experiences under the tutelage of expert mentors. Our mentors are passionate about what they do and are committed to sharing their knowledge and experience with individuals who dream of walking in their shoes. We are a catalyst that helps vocationers begin a long-term, strategic process of transitioning into work that brings meaning and fulfillment to their lives. At VocationVacations, we believe "work" can be much, much more than just a four-letter word. That's why we've made it our business to offer you the chance to test-drive your dream job -- completely risk-free! No need to quit your day job. No need to tell the boss. Just spend a couple days on a VocationVacation, working one-on-one with a VocationVacations Mentor, to see what your dream job is really like."

This company sounds very interesting. It gives people the opportunity to explore another career without having to fully commit. Like they mention, "a career test drive".
