Do you have a cell phone, Internet access, and even a small desire to meet people and learn to succeed? Read up on trends associated with topics you are passionate about and contact the author. You had the guts to do it here, you can do it again. For example, say you want to become a marine biologist at SeaWorld. Go online and comb through articles relating to whales living in captivity or how to train sea lions. Contact the writer offering to lend a helping hand in their next study (for free -- you will be paid with new connections). Ask for some recommendations on who you should be speaking with to achieve your passion for working at SeaWorld. Get up and make some connections, people love to give free advice if you show an interest in them and make a compelling offer. To your success, Joe Great question Mark.
