Winter Jobs
Yes! Winter is coming, and because it is, we at BREWED
have taken a closer look at jobs you might be able to
find out there, in this big white world, this winter.

There is a plethora of other jobs to pursue as well in the winter. There are actually so many that it is very hard to name them all. If you are going
to spend your winter holidays doing nothing, that‘s fine, but you could always use that extra buck, couldn’t you? I have selected the three most
common winter jobs (which are still bloody awesome, if you ask me).
One of the first things that comes to mind when working in the snow would first and foremost be the job of ski/snowboard instructor. Besides
it being very awesome, it is also very notorious, as everyone who is a ski/snowboard instructor appears to be morally very loose in an environment filled with drunk aprés-skiers and a need for warmth. The job in itself entails teaching people how to ski and snowboard, and it also
appears to be pretty rewarding (and not just because you are teaching someone). However, it does require a reasonably expensive education
and a lot of experience.
You could also do something slightly different. You could work at a ski resort, where you could do anything from cleaning to babysitting. This might
be an option for the ones that like to work in a skiing area, but do not like to be outside in the cold so much.
A final suggestion would be working at a travel agency in the middle of nowhere. This is an option for the most adventurous amongst us, and
adventurous it is. This job can entail guiding tourists through the harsh, cold and empty wilderness of, for example, Alaska.
You could also apply at one of the many camps and give the guides a hand by warming them up with food and drinks.
