In the second video of my series on seasonal work I talk about my seasonal job in Alaska. I had always dreamed of going to Alaska but never thought I would be able to afford it. But working in Alaska at a seasonal job allowed me to spend 4 months there and gave me the chance to experience all the things that I wanted to see and do.
Check out www.coolworks.... to explore the seasonal jobs that are available in Alaska.

I'm reposting your video on my facebook page. As a retired teacher I often hear young men say nobody will hire them. I believe that , "where there's a will there's a way. I'm going to share this with graduating students who just want to work and explore the world and life. Thanks so much and God bless you.

I saw this video about 3 years ago and it inspired me to listen to that inner voice and just go, You're journey inspired me so much so I took your recommendations to heart and a couple weeks later I was in Cooper's Landing Alaska working for Princess Cruises 5 minutes from Moose Pass, by the way it is a wonderful town. The experience changed my life and I've been traveling every sense literally enjoying every minute of it. I guess this is my way of saying thank you for showing me the path through the forest and believe me it is so much more I can say yet I'll leave it there. Thanks again friend from far far away😇🥰😎

We went to fox island and did the buffet and did amazing tours with glaciers and everything. I’ve made it my goal to work seasonally and go back to Alaska!

I loved this video. I went to Alaska this summer and loved it. Went on a week cruise out of Vancouver on June 21. Then we stayed over and traveled around Alaska. I’ve really considered doing travel nursing there. One of my daughters was thinking of doing some kind of seasonal work there. Perhaps we could go together and get something fairly close to one another. Do you normally do the work during summer or have you done work there in the winter? Do you know of anyone who does travel nursing there?

@TimothyWard
@TimothyWard 6 жыл бұрын
When I was in Alaska I had to rent a P.O. box for mail. At most other places you can receive mail at your job, they usually have a dedicated P.O box for employee mail. My taxes were the same, I got a W2 every year. I've never had to owe for state taxes in the different states where I worked either. And no I don't have a storage unit anywhere. All the possessions I own are in the two bags I carry with me.Feel free to ask me any other questions you have.

I have actually worked at a number of places that will definitely hire people in you and your wife's age bracket. In fact, I think they welcome people with a little more life experience to balance all the younger people they hire. One of my favorite seasonal jobs, the YMCA of the Rockies (Estes Park) hires quite a few people 50's - 60's each and every year. jobs.ymcarockies.org/seasonal-jobs

Hey Tim really enjoy your videos. Very inspiring. Couple of questions for you. I’m about a year out before I could even consider doing this type of thing due to my son heading to college. When is the best time to start applying for a season at a location (how far in advance) and can you mention any best or favorite places you or others have enjoyed working at for its location? Thanks and great info for a less stress lifestyle in which to travel and work at the same time.

Cyndi, I usually start applying about 3 months before the season starts. For instance, for winter season which starts late Nov/early Dec I usually start applying late Aug/ early Sept. As far as favorite places to work I can recommend the YMCA of Estes Park.

I was wondering about that also. If room and board are paid, and you make min wage for 4 mths, that is about $4,700 after taxes minus airfare/bus.

The shifts are 16 hours. So by your third day your on overtime, making more like 16an hour. You get a lot more on 4 months.

Very inspiring video. But just out of curiosity, how often did you get days off? Did you get the weekends off or would you put in extra hours so you could take the next day off?

What about working in WHSES or Factories? I know we are now under the pandemic. Rent ? No a big space . Perhaps a studio

Do you need to be 18 for most jobs? I have a late birthday and am planning to work at Yellowstone the summer after senior year. I’m a bit worried they won’t allow “minors”
