Thanks for watching!
Hey guys…this might be a little off topic but can you do a video on those geodesic domes in the background and what you use them for and where you got them….thanks 👍😁
another job option - with less commitment (you aren't likely to find listed anywhere) is, if you're in the neighborhood, show up when a carnival is rolling in for a county fair. You can often pick up a days work helping them set up (if you're physically fit enough) or a weeks work running a ticket booth or game, or kiddie ride. And another days work helping them tear down. You could also sign up for an extended gig - if their heading in your direction, and earn money as you move to your next destination.

I get signed on through day labor and temporary agencies, worked at concerts, the rodeo finals, casinos, etc. They may seem or even say its only a day or two but if you keep up it can last much longer.
I retired from a full-time job in Yellowstone and moved into my RV. To fill out my bank account I signed up for a seasonal position work-kamping for Digi-key. Free FHU and a great hourly pay. Work starts in a couple weeks. Just do it. For 12 years I worked in Yellowstone but full-time and always liked how the seasonal folk got to travel all winter.
Hello Sir, does this company still hire "Work-Camping" & did you state they provide a paid room?
@@ketoauntie7301 Not sure if they still have start dates yet for work camping but they do provide hotels and you can always rent an apartment and get reimbursed. Contact Express pros in Grand Forks, ND
Awesome! Great story!
I worked at Yellowstone summer after freshman year in college. Old faithful inn. 1988ish. Great experience at such a young age. I’m sure some things have changed but people of all ages. Dorm style and cabin housing. Also many older and/or retired individuals who lived in their RVs. Now in my 50s and burned out Nurse practitioner- I’m seriously considering revisiting seasonal work opportunities!
Did that too. I worked for two years at two different ski resorts for the winters. I found a job that was completed by 10:00am in the morning each day. So I got a free pass to ski and use rental equipment. I was given a place to stay for free and food discounts at the restaurants if I wanted. I skied more than 200 days in two years of working for them. I even got free ski lessons of one resort. I was better than the instructor. But they did file a hole in my method. So I got even better. Ski resorts are a great place if you love to ski.
@@theminister1154 I'm an extreme skiing instructor and have been seen skiing 70 degree faces. It's an art to do the peddle hop turn correctly. But I was weak on my pole planting technique for moguls. They helped me with that. It made moguls way easier. I opened the wagon wheel chair at Kirkwood Meadows back in 94 with 104 inches of super dry powder. It was the deepest truly bottomless snow I have ever skied in. At some points my head was under the snow. That face there is skull & crossbones. It's beyond double black diamond. It's 45 degrees and drops right off a cliff at the start. I skied all day alone. The ski patrol would not go up there. It was clearly do or die. I can't believe that they had the chair open. The road to get to the resort was closed. The storm closed it. So I had the full day off. It was the most epic day of skiing.
What an interesting conversation! Options in areas I wouldn't have thought of. I'm getting accustomed to Brian being the host - he's a welcome addition!
I still have half dozen KOA shirts from my adventure. I really enjoyed it for 3 1/2 yrs.
Brian seems like a good dude. Liking his stuff ao far. 🤞
I immediately sent this to my grandson. Thank you!
I'm forwarding this to my Son who is about to graduate college with a degree in Hospitality/Tourism Management. I've been telling him to check out coolworks for awhile now and maybe get into the seasonal work to get some different experiences before he settles into a full-time career, while he's still young.
I didn't hear about hrs. And days you worked. Just wondering. And info. About paid room and board. Thanks
From my minimal experience (3 seasonal jobs from coolworks) hours and days vary based on need. Since the pandemic, places are hurting for workers so shifts seem to be longer depending on the position. Currently, I'm working 6 days a week averaging 6 hours a day. Room and board can vary between free to upwards of $800/m.
Big Sky Resort had housing at around $300/m with one roommate but you have to provide your own food and cookware for your dorm room.
Here at Zion National Park, it's $13.5/d or like $405/m for room and board which includes 3 meals a day at the employee dining room. Dorms you can share a room up to 2 other people.
Hope that helps.
I wonder if one could still stay in their RV, Camper, van, etc. doing this summer job and still be close to the job location.
Brian, thank you for this video! Seasonal work has interested me for a while and I’m glad you covered this topic in this video. Glad Bob is taking a much deserved break, too. Your niece seems lovely and it sounds like she had a very nice experience.
Great video topic and well done. As usual, the comments are helpful, useful. Thanks guys. Happy trails 🐾🎶
Well done Brian!
Great video!
We workcamp and live in our class C RV. It has been great so far.
I like a variety that you’re now offering in this channel. Seasonal jobs seems like an interesting topic.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Coolworks is a great site. I've used it for a job at Grand Tetons, Big Sky Resort and Zion National Park. All were dorm style.
Unfortunately, I don't enjoy that kind of living situation. Because these places are so remote and the housing is cheap and small, kids love to party which is fine but I enjoy my sleep and peace.
Cool experiences though.
After you subtract for the resort-owned hotel, I wonder how much you made? And gas to get there and back? =.....?
Another job option is to use an online temp agency app. They will pay you as an independent contractor, so you have to watch your taxes, but there is a lot of flexibility as far as how much, how often and what type of work. As some are multi-state, you might have to be sure to keep all of your work in one state or see if they will give you a 1099 for each state you work in for them.
Great interview! I wish I had thought of this when I was in my 20's.
Loved it!
Tell me about the dome in the background
Ah, to be young!!!!
What a lovely niece, and fellow adventurer
Good interview
I am full time TV living as of March. Working remotely at a boring job. I met a young man yesterday (recent full time van lifer) that told me about your channel, and cool works. He got a summer job through it.
Love your videos, and this one was very informative.
Wish me luck as I look to seasonal jobs on the road!
Great video! I'm encouraging my daughter to try a job like this also after she graduates. I don't want her just settling for any job just for security reasons. I'm hoping she is open to trying different things while she is young. I sure wish I had been braver and done this when I was young. Thanks Brian! 😀
Some really good information.
I LOVE these kinds of videos. I'm retired and have a small fixed income, but I'd love to find something on the road for a few more sheckles.
This is a great informative interview. Where is this park you are sitting at?
I hope this inspires some people to "Just do it!"
Maybe a seasonal job. I’m not young. Are there opportunities for my age group. 68-72
Through Cool works there are. There is a section for 'Older and Bolder ' I believe it's called.
@@carolynreynolds2737 Thank you 👍
Thank you Hannah. Can you tell me any other sites? Appreciate you very much. Proud of you also
custom cutters wheat harvest is a traditional transient seasonal job in Montana (I've done it in 1978) Cherry picking in Kalispell is another one.
What a great video & a beautiful back drop!😍 Where did this interview take place? Those domes in the background look intriguing. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I used CoolWorks to find a workcamping job at a KOA in South Dakota. They had full hook up (water, electric, sewer) spots for RV's and Dorms for those without a camper. It was a ton of fun.
I would love to do a seasonal job!!
Awesome share out and I know some that would love to here this idea as much as crop picking for seasonal jobs. Thanks so much! 🤗❤️👍🏾💯
Bravo great advice
Great information!
i always regretted not spending the summer working at a camp ground or something like this while in college. oh well. maybe next time.
We are listening
What are the domes used for in the background?
My Dad told me: You can do anything for six months. You can sit on a hot rock for 6 months.
What did you do with Bob????
120% is a great way to describe something.💙💫💙
agreed. 120%
🤙
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'd be interested at n jobs paying cash. Are they out there?
Would hope a horse or whiterafting guide would have plenty of prior experience.
Right 😲
I used coolworks also to find a ranch job all the way back in 1999. Made many lifetime friends, was paid almost nothing.
Awesome!
👍👍
