Create your own short-term job
Today, at the RV Authors' Co-op booth at the Escapade in Stockton, CA - an educational rally put on by the Escapees RV Club - I got to talking to Jim. He and his wife, Marijke, went to the fairgrounds office here on the grounds to check out employment opportunities. The San Jouquin County Fair will be held in June. They put in applications and were hired for the 10-day run to sell tickets. They will make a little more than minimum wage, which is $7.50/hr in California, plus get a full hookup RV site. Not a bad way to pick up some cash plus get to see the fair too!
Special events often provide short-term job opportunites. Check out events like fairs, races, or convention and civic centers. Work a few days, then move on. What a life! Jaimie

And LARGE crowds, too. I think I will pass. I retired from televising live sporting events and I've had my fill of crowds.

I hear you. Though it's not a job for just a few days, maybe manning a fire tower would appeal to you more! There are both paid and volunteer opportunities.
The neat thing about the Workamping lifetstyle is all the varied opportunities. Depending on our goals for income, location and what to do, each of us can find positions that are a match. Jaimie
