The Dream Job Project: Part 1, Part 2
This is not quite “information about information” yet, but having stumbled across Michael Erard’s Dream Job Project and reading what he has set out to do and how he’s going about doing it, I cannot wait to see the final results and the tool he comes up with.
From Erard’s post: Last April, in a piece on these pages, I solicited comments from people about what they aspire to in the way of work, whether those aspirations were for a “dream job,” the next stage in one’s professional life, or a first stepping stone to something different. My thinking on this originated with the notion that aspirations offered by the culture aren’t necessarily supported by the economy, and that one possible response was to design those aspirations. Before you can design, you have to have a 360º view of the structure of the work. With that, you could build an aspiration design tool, a dashboard of options and choices, something to help you measure where you are and where you want to be.
