The Ultimate Guide to Seasonal Jobs
Do you want to leave the conventional grind behind?
Do you dream of traveling, but don't know how to afford it?
Do you yearn to be outside, meeting new people and exploring incredible destinations?
It's Time to Try Seasonal Jobs
If the answer to any of those questions is "yes," you need to give seasonal jobs a look.
Whether you're sick of the 9-to-5, figuring out what you want "to do" with your life, or ready to retire with pizzazz, seasonal jobs just might be the answer.
You could work as a raft guide in the Tetons, as the office manager of a kayaking company in Alaska, as a ski tech in Colorado, or as a server in Maui.
... In fact, we and our friends have held those exact positions.
And we want to show you how to follow in our footsteps.
Why You Need This Guide
Seasonal jobs aren't just any old job.
They're short-term adventures that allow you to live, work, and play in some of the country's most beautiful places -- all while earning money and making lifelong friends.
And since they're far from conventional, it's tough to know where to start.
- Where can you find seasonal jobs?
- Is housing provided?
- What qualifications do you need?
- How do you tell your boyfriend you're moving to Wyoming?
We've answered all those questions -- and many, many more -- in this brand new guide.
Who Doesn't Need This Guide
We think everyone could benefit from seasonal jobs -- but this guide might not be a fit for you if:
- You really just want to work abroad. We did include a tiny section about teaching English in South Korea and working in Australia / New Zealand, but that's not our focus. As I explain in the guide, I think it works better to work domestically, then use your off seasons to travel abroad (which is what I did for many years!).
- You're not eligible to work in the U.S., as we focus on American jobs
Get It All For Just $1
And the best part? It's pay-what-you-want.
That's right: You can get our combined decades worth of seasonal jobs knowledge for as little as $1.
Call us crazy, but we want the world of seasonal jobs to be as accessible as possible.
So we haven't put a price tag on our hard work.
Pay whatever you can afford; whatever our wisdom, insight (and ok, some sweat and tears) is worth to you.
Seasonal jobs changed our lives, and we know they could change yours.
We would never want the price of a guide to stand in your way.
