Summers coming up and I am not spending 4 months wallowing around old Airdrie Town, Scotland. So I'm looking into some kind of work for over summer. Right now I'm looking at fruit picking in Denmark. The money is really good but it's hard work of course and it's full time. I'm used to not working hard so it's kind of a put off but I really should just dig in with this it looks like a real good deal. I'll keep looking into it for a couple days though, get a good idea and see what looks most attractive.

So

What are people's plans for summer? (not parties and stuff, but if you're doing anything like this or some kind of project)
Ever done any summer work abroad? What the heck was it like?
Are there better ideas than fruit picking?

fruit picking in Denmark? do it!

i don't know really! i'd like to get out of lynchburg for the summer and work somewhere else, but who knows.

fruitpicking in denmark sounds amazing man, you should do it.

what kind of fruit?

do you have big hands? if yes, maybe you could be a watermelon picker.

What kind of fruit is it? I never heard people going to denmark out of all places to pick fruit. My friends did that in New Zealand a while ago and while it wasn't that lucrative, it was enough to get around and have a blast while being there.

I wanna travel somewhere cause a 1 month vacation's coming up in august.. dunno where yet though >_>

I am moving to Texas for 90 days to live with my girlfriend.

Considering I usually complain about the 3 days of moderate heat the UK gets per year, it will be interesting to live through 90 days of Texan death.

Gonna be fun.

strawberries, apples pears and peas, maize, mushrooms, onions, pumpkins etc

The lower paid jobs earn 10-14 euros an hour which is great money as far as I'm used to, and some of the others earn up to 20 euros an hour but i guess that'll be for experience folks. Apparently you can earn 25 euros an hour for choppin down and decorating christmas trees.

wow!! that's good money. Denmark's pretty expensive though...

yer gonna need to shave yer head to deal

I'm heading to New York from June 29th - July 6th for my birthday.  Other than that though, I really don't have much planned for summer.

you're considering a job chopping down xmas trees?

bu... but the thread you just made on activism...

i knew i'd get that, i'm not an environmentalist (yet...) although i probably wouldn't do it, it's just crazy money

christmas trees are farmed for the purpose of being christmas trees. it's not like they are choppin' down forests and decorating them!

huh. i didn't even think about that. i probably wouldn't do it though it sounds hard and i'd rather be dealing with things i can chomp a few of.

If my jobs contract isn't extended thru the summer, I'm probably gonna spend a month or two on a processing vessel again up in alaska. Probably end up doing a lot of reading up there

oh heck yeah that's another plus. leave the old l-t back here and just take a bunch of books.
