CEOs Find Out Truth About 'Dream Jobs'

Vocation Vacations, an Oregon-based travel company, allows workers to try out a "dream job" without giving up their regular one.

For about $500 to $10,000, not including transportation or lodging, a customer can spend one or two days with an expert mentor -- from innkeeper to PGA golf pro.

Vocation Vacations is the brainchild of Brian Kurth of Portland, Ore., who got the idea when he was stuck in traffic imagining all the other things he could be doing.

Among the dream jobs Kurth's clients can choose from; innkeeper, brewmaster, winemaker, horse trainer, cheesemaker, raceway manager, hunting and fishing guide, professional gardener, wedding coordinator, pastry chef or chocolatier.

"A vocation vacation is a blend of reality TV meets 'Fantasy Isalnd', " said Kurth.

Kurth tries to match his customers with occupational mentors -- experts in their fields.

He said he usually targets smaller companies because their owners tend to be more passionate about what they do and more accessible.

For example, vocation vacationers can visit Oregon's Amity Vineyards, where they can learn everything from harvesting to bottling the area's famous pinot noir.

Kurth calls Vocation Vacations the ultimate vacation adventure for people wanting to do more than dream about the job they've always wanted.
