Reality TV Show Idea: Career Swap

Seeing How the Other Side Lives

We have all seen shows like “Meet Your New Mommy” and “Wife Swap” We have also seen “The Apprentice”, “Hell’s Kitchen” and other such reality sitcoms that makes us all sit at the edge of our seats and wonder what these inexperienced people are going to do next. But what about taking people in professional paths from opposite sides of the financial ladder… and, seeing how they do inside of one week’s time?

Career Swap: Ideal Matches

We all have thought it “Try walking a mile in my shoes” so; why not put it to the test? The idea of couple for each ‘one week period’ are as follows:
• A line cook of a high paced, popular restaurant swap with a highly stressed daycare provider.
• A confident waiter swaps with a construction worker
• A member of the zoo clean up crew swaps with an interior decorator
• Garbage man swaps with a jewelry store worker
• Port-a-potty cleaner swaps with a manicurist.
• A member of the house keeping staff of a trendy yet understaffed hotel swaps with an administrative assistant.
• Working dad swaps with stay at home/home schooling mom with 5 or more children.

Career Swap: Aaaahhhh, Sweet Revenge
The World’s population has the common working dad and stay at home mom. It is all too common for married couples to think that the other spouse isn’t pulling their weight. So, how would a dad handle cooking, cleaning, teaching, and caring after 5 children for a week and not get paid for all of those services…do you think he would last?

Career Swap: the Humorous Side
Could you picture a big and burly construction worker running after everyone else’s needs in a restaurant dealing with the common “my ice isn’t cold enough” or “I didn’t want dressing on my salad”? Even better how about a port-a-potty cleaner trying to use small and dainty tools to try and paint a fingernail, or much less the manicurist cleaning after used toilet paper and other such joys for a week. Who do you think would find it harder?
