He has worked as a photographer, a teacher, a film executive, an emotional support consultant and a river rafting guide.<\/p>\n
Jubanashwa Mishra has spent 28 weeks trying out 28 jobs\u00a0 – a challenge that has seen him travel more than 15,000 miles across India.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old started the project in May 2013 after leaving his job as a software engineer in Chennai because he was not passionate about it.<\/p>\n
He said he hoped the challenge would inspire youngsters to explore their own passion and discover a profession they really want to do.<\/p>\n
‘There is a growing trend in India toward stereotypical higher education in medicine and engineering,’ he said. ‘There are a lot of other possible professions which a kid may want to do, but those dreams are killed during adolescence.’<\/p>\n
‘Through my one job a week project in India, I have tried to break this trend. I hope it will inspire the youngsters of tomorrow to follow their dreams.’<\/p>\n
Mr Mishra’s challenge saw him travel to 28 Indian states via different modes of transport, including plane, train, bus,\u00a0 car, taxi, auto rickshaw and motorbike.<\/p>\n
He took on jobs in Manipur, Bihar, Rajasthan, Kerela and Gujurat and other places – before returning home, where he now works as a writer and motivational speaker.<\/p>\n
