Is it worth paying for Workamper News?

I looked at the free issue from a year ago and the jobs listed were almost all volunteer positions. We need something that pays well. Is it worth the money to subscribe or is it a ripoff?
  • Here are some ideas for you:

    Alaska, more than any other state needs thousands of seasonal workers every summer to fill a whole myriad of positions. Some pay well and include housing and/or a site. Try the web sites for:

    Princess Cruises/Alaska
    Holland America
    White Pass and Yukon Railway
    Grey Line

    and there are many others.

    Rail Crew Hauling; Several large companies spread out over the nation along our rail corridors need drivers to haul rail crews to and from trains. These companies are not known for treating their employees well but for a short time you can do anything.

    Utilities Locators. During the Summer in the NOrthern States Utility Locating companies are looking for people. If you are fairly fit and can walk a mile through a corn field or along a RR track this job can be a good one paying $18/hour and up.
  • There are other free listings that have paid positions. Just do a google search for something like - jobs for rvers or camping jobs etc. You will find other sources that are free. You can also pay for your camping and work outside of the campgrounds thru a temp service, local stores, any part time positions. You would need to stay in an area for a few months before moving on though.
  • It's not a ripoff. Many folks have gotten their jobs through them, not all volunteering. Try it for a year. Overall, it doesn't cost that much.
  • send me a Private message if you are interested in learning more about working for Amazon as a seasonal employee. This will be our fifth year working for them.
