Who we are

The Rat Race Social Club is dedicated to people looking for a career off the beaten path. We profile people in unusual and challenging jobs in the hopes that you might find ideas and inspiration in following your own dreams.

We love stories—we love telling stories, and we love hearing stories. And we are always anxious to hear from our readers. If you have a unique story to tell, let us know, and we just might send one of our writers to come talk to you. And if there are any particular professions that you would like to hear more about, write us about that too.

Have a question? Drop us a line. Interested in writing for us? Go here.

In addition to The Rat Race Social Club, Karen has been published in Nannies Connected and Aggieland.
