Rather than navigate the globe after completing college, sailor Molly Robinson took another route. The San Francisco native did venture halfway across the world after graduating from the College of Charleston in 2009, but it was hardly a pleasure cruise.

Robinson spent two months in a Hazmat suit, spraying glue for a sail-making company in New Zealand. After a few months on sewing machine duty, she returned to San Francisco as an experienced sail builder.
