Can you get paid to change the world? Careers in public service are suddenly "cool" again, according to career services director HeatherKrasna of the University of Washington's Evans School of Public Affairs. In her new book, JOBS THAT MATTER, Krasna defines "public service" jobsas not just government work, but also careers at universities and otherlearning institutions, as well as nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations and many segments of the private sector devoted toimproving the world.
Krasna offers exercises for defining one's dreams and clarifying the steps to achieve them and narrowing down the aspect of the world that you want to improve, such as children's issues, civil rights, or urban development.
