I have my list of seasonal jobs. I choose these because I can be employed anywhere in the US. So if I can get the funds together to travel to and temporarily house myself, I can support myself while I’m there.
Three seasonal jobs:
- H & R block-spring
- Boy Scout Summer Camp-summer
- Wal-Mart-winter
As I continue to work on my internet projects, I will develop the skills and get the education I need for those three jobs over the next 3 years. The seasonal jobs will allow me blocks of time to insert “mini retirement” (from The 4 Day Work Week) time. I can travel in-between seasonal jobs or travel and work the seasonal job in the location of my choice. While traveling I will be writing and taking photos so it will be a business deduction.
To be able to apply out of state I will have to have an exceptional job history w/each company and great references from them. I shouldn’t have any problem in that area.
My other 3 days goals update:
Office organizing-got 1/2 the box done
Identify 3 plants to raise (project for daughters to be partnered with)
- Bamboo
- Mesquite
- Aloe Vera
I haven’t set any new goals yet. I am working on a time line to get my finances in order and prepare to work seasonally for wages. I don’t want to wait till I’m too old to enjoy retirement. By the time I’m 55 years old (8 years away) I want to be free to travel and choose if and when I work and where I work………be financially free.
How did you come up these ideas? I understand that they can be done anywhere basically, but they might as well be complete opposites from each other. What was your criteria for picking them I guess? I think it’s interesting that you included working at Wal-Mart in the mix.
