Jason Paul is straight out of college and he decided to make a little experiment of living through Craigslist for 9 months. When he was still in college, Jason was already using Craigslist in selling his stuff or looking for an apartment but now, since he is jobless anyway, he decided to go to a social experiment and see where it will lead him.
He started out with nothing more than his car, a bag of clothing and some food staples plus a phone, computer and $2,500. He then relied on everything else from Craigslist such as looking for small jobs, housing, leisure activities and finding friends.
Jason’s experiment led him to different cities and different jobs such working in a restaurant, street canvassing and even as a nanny. All his experiences are documented in his site at http://livingcraigslist.com. Jason said in his interview that he is doing this to find a story of what is possible from Craigslist. If he fails then he can just go back to his parents and get a job. He is planning to make blog books and to pursue publishing so this experiment would be a great start.
Well, so far so good for Jason. It’s an exciting experiment that is making him a well-rounded person with vast experiences and meeting different types of people along the way.
