Maine jobs

We are in Maine for a month. It is interesting to see jobs in an area that you might not see everywhere else. One ad in the Portland Maine Sunday Telegram, is for an airplane painter at $15/hour. Water-related jobs were listed: dock worker, boat hand, fish culler and shrink wrapper detailer for the marine industry. The feature article traces a fellow's rise to Boat Yard Manager.

Actually there aren't many job openings when you consider the area the paper serves. Most of the general labor jobs require heavy lifting - not what older Workampers usually want to do. Workers on the RV road can work in Maine; RV parks and resorts do advertise in Workamper News. It is a gorgeous state with lots to see and do, but you would be better off looking for a seasonal job through sources like Workamper rather than coming here and then looking for a job.
