    I’ve known several people who love that kind of seasonal/day labor kind of work. They can work and save while the work is there and then do contract/part-time in the off season. It’s not for everyone but some people make it work.

    I wonder how it’s set up, can I just put in some hours after my day job or is there a set schedule?

      Snow removal is normally an on-call job. There’s no need to work when there’s no snow to remove. It’s not a reliable source of income.

      A seasonal job like landscaping or irrigation can be reliable. Snow removal is unfortunately not one of those jobs. It makes sense if you can do multiple similar jobs during the season.
