I've thought about applying for national park jobs. Assuming I could get one, I'd probably get a pay raise from my current salary, even as a maintenance worker. Even the non-skilled ones pay pretty well. Most of the hourly positions are around $15-19/hour, with quite a few in the $20-30 range. Salary positions seem to start in the mid $30s, going well into the six figures. If people had job options like that, it would be a good thing. Of course, most places aren't going to consider someone from out of town for an hourly job. Running to some location for 1 open hourly job posting you saw on the internet seems silly with the costs involved in traveling from say, Philadelphia to Sante Fe.
