Work History

  • So Whaddya Do
  • Founder
  • Febuary 2009 to Present
  • I started So Whaddya Do as a way to help people answer that universal question "what do I do with my life?" I was wondering the same thing and could not find a resource that gave me the real inside scoop on the myriad of jobs out there, so I created it myself (with the help of an awesome producer)!

    At So Whaddya Do, I interview people who like their jobs and aren't afraid to shed some light on what it is they do, how they got into that line of work, and how others can get their foot in the door. The concept behind the website is that INFORMATIONAL INTERVIEWS are crucial to finding career happiness. We introduce audiences to jobs they may or may not be familiar with AND provide very specific guidelines on how to get, conduct, and follow up on a successful informational interview.
