Other than Amazon and Beet Harvest, what's out there?

I'm aware of Camperforce at Amazon and the Sugar Beet Harvest in the north as excellent Workamping opportunities. They also ask for your time at about the same time of the year. What other, similar, opportunities exist?

Oil field gate guards in Texas is a high paying job ($100+ for a 24 hour day). I always thought my wife and I were at least average on the "tough" scale, but we wimped out after 10 days of heat, dust, lack of sleep and noise. Only job in my life I have quit because I could not stand the working conditions. All that being said, there are many work campers doing it. I do wish we could have lasted long enough to pay for an Alaska cruise.

A lot of state fairs have Parimutuel racing. At one point I worked at 3 different tracks, each for a week or so. I knew a lovely lady that worked her way across country every year working all the big races: Derby, Preakness, Belmont, Saratoga, etc.

If you have some experience working on shooting ranges, there's lots of opportunities for volunteer work there... Mostly just volunteer.

The hotels, restaurants and camps in Alaska all need tons of people for the season. There is a huge temp/migrant workforce that goes there each year.

Summertime in the northern states is also a time when the Utility Locating Services start hiring. This is easy to learn and you can make $18 to $25 per hour with overtime depending on experience.

Also little known is the Rail Road crew transportation industry which is usually in a constant state of hiring. Summer is the busiest time. In any large Rail Road town like Cheyenne Wy or Minot ND or Fargo ND there are companies that hire drivers to pick up and deliver RR crews to their trains. Pay here can vary wildly depending on location and can be very good or not so good.

The above with the exception of Alaska Jobs wont include any campsite.

I am not familiar with the beet harvest can someone enlighten me on that?
