Busy as hell though with desperate people trying to save money wherever they can. So we're crazy busy

They come to cali to pick the fields and bring their family members, then they leave back to meh hi co before nov.

edbltx7, na na

They bring their whole family, some work int he fields, some work in stores.

The stores start hiring alil before may, thats when they come.

So I could get a job now MAYBE, the primetime is near may as the population here rises like crazy, literally theres nobody but teens out these times, during summer you see tons of illegals.

No I wouldnt work the fields, they wouldnt hire me as mi no habla espanol.

They take all the jobs here, then when they leave the jobs lay off people due to nobody coming in.

Nobody else will work in the fields, I had a friend that did oh man... he said if they see just one bad berry they dump your whole can and don't count it, and the most you can get for a can is 5 bucks which takes 40min or so he said.

Screw the fields lol.

Is there a lot of agri in the Bay?

Further North here we have lots of fields of all kinds and my mom did orange or tangerine picking I think for a little extra scratch and they let her take some home too I think.

edbltx7, freeze the grapes - you'll eat less and it's like ice cream haha.

We built a shack inbetween some trees off the ground by the razberry/strawberry fields, man it was so delicious smoking a bowl and running through the fields eating strawberries

Picture mexicans and one white boy. They had two fields, one with strawberries that tasted so delicious you'd eat them till you puke, it was like they had pure sugar in them, that field was small, too small to sell to supermarkets, like their own personal batch near the house, the otherside was delicious but not as good, we'd eat the good ones LOL

Our tree shack was awesome bro, we had wood everywhere, tarps all around and on the top so no water got inside, cardboard over the walls and some tarps on the inside to insulate, carpet on the floors and a door with hinges and we fassioned a lock too.

Dude hit up your local mall....Holidays are coming and everyone is always understaffed. I know retail sux but hey it'll pay the bills with the OT you'll be putting in. My ex GF worked at JC Penney and was making $9.35 starting and she was working 12 hr shifts during the Holiday at a raise of a buck and a half. She made decent money.

Just an idea

usually that is true but as everyone is laying people off people are spending less money than normal and retailers are seeing a huge profit loss because of it so they are hiring less people than normal for the holiday seasons.
