Kari Quaas How did I get here?

Just a quick post. Last night at the baseball game someone asked how I learned how to do the job I do now. I didn't have a quick answer because lots of what I do didn't exist when I graduated from college..... in ...... 1994. I guess I just learned by doing and adapting. Isn't that how life is? I suppose people skills were fairly important too. : ) Kermit... David Byrne...… Continue

Dallas What I went through to start the seasonal world.....

I've been traveling for almost four years now and it seems that on every journey I take, I meet someone that's brand new to this type of life. I usually try to give that person as many tips as possible and try to make their first time an experience they won't forget. And every time I meet someone like this I think about my first time leaving home and why I really got into doing this. As I've said before my family owned a campground when I was growing up so I was lucky enough to have a childhood… Continue

Kari Quaas Has Education Hurt Your Job Search?

I just read this article by Mary Ellen Slayter from the Washington Post about individuals with Master's degrees having a more difficult time getting entry level positions. Knowing that many jobs in the seasonal world are entry level, I am wondering if there are any of you out there with graduate degrees who have experience trouble getting a job.

Lea Grand Canyon

I missed the photo contest! I've been really busy with work, school and some freelance stuff and I just forgot to upload my pictures here. Oh well. I'll be going to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon this summer - I was going to go to Alaska but a family member has had some serious health problems and I decided I needed to be within driving distance if - Heaven forbid - something major happens and I need to come home. Hopefully that won't happen but better safe than sorry. In any case I'm lookin… Continue
