Ten years ago, four friends fresh out of college took a road trip across the country. They interviewed people with interesting jobs about how they ended up doing what they loved. Now, “Roadtrip Nation” is a PBS documentary series and the basis of a school curriculum that has students taking road trips to interview successful people about their jobs.
We talk with local participants in the Roadtrip Nation curriculum about what they’ve learned about how to find their dream job.
