I used to work in the ski industry. Almost everyone I knew was a drug-addled hippy who would work from August to March, then take seasonal unemployment and dick around all summer. Follow Phish, play in their own bands, or just do whippits in grocery store parking lots. And these weren't just college kids or anything. Most of it was guys who'd been doing the exact same thing every year for fifteen or twenty years.
right, people who don't need employment to live. it's an optional thing they do. precisely my point.
lots of trust fund types of people work part time for extra money or fun. that's very different than someone who needs to work full time year round to pay their bills.
