I NA TREEPLANTINGER!!!! I see a lot of parallels between the two jobs in terms of ****ty work conditions, ****ty piece rate pay, supplemented by the rush of physical labour and you against the job mentality, oh and a complete lack of benefits, unless you count good parties and good friends as benefits ;-). I'll probably be applying for a part-time messenger position for the winter since my summer cash be running low.
The one thing i'm wondering is just how flexible the hours can be for a rookie. Is it common that you can vary your shedule a lot from week to week. I'm a student first and foremost right now, so i'd ideally like a job that i can work around my school/essay shedule not the other way around.
