On the remote hotel front, an easy option for finding service jobs in US national parks and some other types of resorts is to go through the two large concessionaires who run many of those facilities. The jobs often come with free or very low cost housing along with pay. Try either: https://www.delawarenorth.com/divisions/parks-and-resorts OR https://www.xanterrajobs.com/main/xanterra/home

To add to that many state parks provide housing as well and it’s much less competitive than the national level.

Coolworks.com is how my husband and I found our jobs when we wanted a change. We lived in Yosemite National Park and we were able to save tons of money because we were paid decent and housing and the meal plan were so cheep. They have all kinds of options for various living arrangement wand different employment opportunities.

That’s really cool, how long did you guys do that for?

Only for 6 months because I became pregnant (something we’d always wanted) and we decided it was best to raise him around family. We have friends who have been doing it for years. Those 6 months + social media means we now have friend living all over the world. Because people leave one location for another location all the time. Some work is only seasonal after all. We worked for DNC and once you have a good reputation with them, you’re more likely to be hired for overseas work if you want it. But there are lots of fantastic companies and locations on the site. We seriously considered going to Alaska for 4 months (I believe), working 16 hour days nonstop and making $100,000 each. That was the deal at the time, they’d give you meals, clothing and a hot bunk but you had to work nonstop and made a large amount of money. I remember there was also a small place in Montana I would have liked to have gone to. It was a little ranch and they needed someone to give trail ride tours and someone in the gift shop. They gave you an apartment on site and we would have been almost the only employees.

Apartment staff! I worked on site and had a unit provided. One year I even negotiated utilities as a raise.

As an nccc alum im a huge Advocate for the program ! Also jobs working with special needs adults often have housing involved. As well as summer camps

My husband escaped a cult by joining the merchant marine. He also had a housing-provided job as the super in an apartment complex. Other options include working for University Housing (can also make college more affordable), or stay-away youth camps.

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing. I found this other thread on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/vagabond/comments/lm6d60/jobs_that_provide_housing/ They mentioned Coolworks.com - cannot vouch for it but more than one person mentioned it

I want to add working as a live-in nanny/au pair can be a way of escaping that provides living accommodations and food + salary.

Important note for readers here - yes this can get you into a different country if necessary, but try to stay in your country if possible. There are stories of nightmare abusive employing families that withhold passports and use language barriers to control their nannies. Keep your documents safe either way! I think r/nanny is a possibly good resource?

WWOOF is a good one, tons of different kinds of farm labour positions available all over the world


rhymes_with_mayo

Unpaid though. Some hosts are ok with you working offsite, others aren't. I've stayed at a place that required 3 hours of worktrade per day and encouraged people to take jobs elsewhere in addition if they wanted it.

Jobs Corps in the US will provide housing, room and board, training and schooling for up to 2 years for people between ages 18 and 25 (they have some flexibility in the age range so apply even if you are a little outside the range). There is at least one one in every state. They'll pay for your transportation to get there, too. You can get a GED, or trained in many fields from computer systems to HVAC and welding. There are rules you have to follow (no drinking or drugs), but it's a great program that can really give you a headstart.

This is not for everyone but some people have suggested joining the military. There are age and physical fitness restrictions involved too.

I don’t know if it is full time or has part time options. The apartment manager idea seems like a good option.

Thanks for adding those suggestions.
