looking for leads on seasonal work
Hey there,

Im wondering if any of you guys have any leads for summer/seasonal work anywhere in the continental U.S.

Im looking for pretty much any job that has room and board, and offers a minimum of $1,000/month.

Ive scoped out a few websites that serve as "clearinghouses" for that sort of thing, but was curious if anyone on here knew of anyone/anyplace that might not be mentioned on those that I could contact.

Thanks in advance, hopefully this will turn up a few opportunities for me.

New Orleans is begging for workers of all crafts post Katrina. There are tons of jobs from house painting to resturant work. I don't know where you could work that includes room and board but there are hostels that go for 10 to 20 dollars a night. You should have no problem clearing $1000 or more per month after expenses. If you are a hard worker we would love to have you here.
