Larry Rainey replied to Mark Williams's discussion Can a person survive on seasonal work"Very good advice from someone who obviously has walked the walk!

Larry Rainey left a comment for Dave & Margie Hirschman"Dave, Just wanted to share some good news. Seth, my son, got on with DNC. We will have to tweek our schedule a little. He starts May 28th and will also be at Grant."
Larry Rainey replied to Mark Williams's discussion Can a person survive on seasonal work"Mark, Sounds like you're searching every avenue. I don't know if the average person (retired school teachers included) can ever quit working in this economy. I'm retired from teaching but certainly not debt free after getting three…"
Larry Rainey replied to Mark Williams's discussion Can a person survive on seasonal work"The way I see it is you can probably find a job close to home making what you'll make doing seasonal work. The difference is that seasonal work has great locations if your a nature lover. Too many people it's worth the trade off. To others…"

I think there will a lot of time in Yellowstone to see stuff. With the 2 day off schedule and then at least some evenings and some mornings (depending on what schedule we're…"
Larry Rainey replied to Sam Tucker's discussion Future Yellowstone employee in the group Yellowstone Employees"Negative on the skiing. Been to Snowshoe for a GNCC (Grand Natl Cross Country) race in the summer. Nice place! You need to make sure it's cooled off before you go to Savannah. It can be humid down there but a neat place to visit. The…"

MK Gordon said… I have not worked at Grant, but it is a great store; a lot of the staff return for more than one season. With an RV, you have control of your space during your after work time and you can opt to participate in the meal plan. I strongly suggest you do this; otherwise, you are going to be driving to Jackson or Cody for groceries. Grant is a fabulous location...you can't go wrong being there!
