It depends what you are looking for in choosing where you will workkamp OR who you will choose to be a workkamper.
There is a wide variety of opportunities -- you just have to choose what is right for you. Some people are younger and looking for an adventure, some are wanting to earn a living. Some people only want to cover their vacation and thereby work minimal hours.
There are many positions i.e. National Parks that are VOLUNTEER. Some give amenities in ADDITION to wage (most of those are minimum wage that I have come across) Some expect you to work a certain number of hours in order to cover your site/expenses and THEN pay for additional hours.
When we first started we got into a lot of hours and work. Now our focus is less hours, less strenuous/physical labor. Amenities are very important to us. Friends we have who have been co-workers look for as many hours each as possible and PAID.
Different strokes for different folks. Good luck to ALL.
