For an example of a transformational experience, look no further than Vocation Vacations. Vocation Vacations has been encouraging their guests to "Test Drive Your Dream Job" since January of 2004, when Brian Kurth decided that he was sick of the daily 9 to 5 routine, long commutes, and corporate career that controlled his life. Thankfully, he figured out what to do long before a mid life crisis hit. One day during his slow and stuffy commute on the Kennedy Expressway in Chicago, Kurth had an idea: why not make vacations a time to pursue your dreams? And Vocation Vacations was born. Kurth and his team believe that everyday can feel like a Friday, and they'll help you get there.

With over 70 careers to choose from in both the United States and abroad, and including activities from being a vintner to a baseball team manager, you're sure to find something that ignites your inner fire. Whether you want to be an animal therapist or a perfumer, leave it up to Vocation Vacations to find you a position, a mentor, and a life coach that can help actualize the real you. This vacation opportunity is unlike others in that you aren't just taking a little break from your less than perfect life only to return back to it in a week or two. You're actually being equipped with the opportunity to never have to go back to that cubicle again. This has been a powerful draw card for those looking for a career change, and who want to dip their toes in the water before taking the plunge. So much so that CNN Money recently recommended this as an option for those people exploring a career change. It is actually amazing to see how much exposure this inventive concept is getting, but that is because the idea is not only novel but provides customers with a wonderfully unique experience. Yet, if you are, in fact, one of the lucky people who loves your career, Vocation Vacation still supplies an out of the ordinary experience that beats 18 holes any day.
