Diverse Work Environment

Countryside - Explore the Splendor of Natural Beauty

Jobs in the National Parks may interest you, not so much for the jobs themselves, but for the opportunity to live in some of the most beautiful areas of USA. Most of the jobs will be in the small towns around the perimeters of the parks or in lodging centers within the parks. Though your duties may not be very exciting, you are being paid to work in what is often a beautiful and peaceful working environment, where you can be friend with many Americans and people from around the world.

Cities - Taste the Bustling and Animated City Lives

Across America, there are numerous amusement parks. They attract millions of visitors each year, and offer many seasonal work opportunities to both local and foreign students. If you have a craving for heart-stopping roller coaster ride, you will get to not only ride them as often as you want, but also learn how it operates. The proximity to nearby cities is definitely another major advantage to be considered.

Apart from amusement parks, you may also find work opportunities at shopping malls, resort towns, or even major airports, mostly within the catering industry.
