And the previous posts are exactly why no park advertises for workampers on this site anymore. If you don't want the job, don't apply. But for many workampers there is more to consider than just exactly how you break down the hourly wage. Would you actually come out ahead working at Walmart for those 20 hours at $15.00 an hour? You would then have to pay for an RV site, utilities, the cost of commuting etc. The work for site arrangement isn't taxed. You would not have the advantage of working where you live which allows you to check on your pets, eat lunch at your own home and be at work in 10 seconds. If you are a couple and one of you worked outside of the park, the other person would either have to drive you to and from work or spend the day without transportation. There is much more to consider other than math.

There was nothing offensive about my original post so try not to be such a snow flake.

Oh and for the record, I have tremendous respect for a person that supports himself or a family working at Walmart.

I have no dog in this fight. But its offensive for the simple fact, you assume a person doing the job doesn't understand how much they are being paid? Are you attempting to enlighten them as to their salary as though they can't figure it out for themselves.
Your passive aggressive tactics are offensive.
People applying are responsible adults. They are capable of understanding what their time is worth.
If you are not interested don't apply but don't attempt to shame those who maybe interested.
I was going to reply as well, but you did a much better job than I would have. 100% agree and thank you.

Talk about arrogant, you guys think you have the right to tell me what I can post?
For your information, my post was addressed to the OP. It was to let them know how lousy of a deal it was.
Apparently you're easily offended. Perhaps you should lighten up a little and consider that not everything is about you personally.

Not everyone works for the wages. There are many other reasons.
