A few years ago I was on a long road trip interrupted by short term gigs to replenish my wallet. In most instances I was able to get hired by an established EC who (after the first day of checking me out) was happy to have had me. In too many instances tho (especially out west) I was not able to apply my trade because of insane laws that restricted me from legally using my skills, experience and knowledge.
One example was Bozeman Montana where I wanted to spend a couple months in mid summer (best trout fishing I've ever seen). Long story short I had 5 SOLID and GOOD paying job offers for before noon but! because I didn't have a MT issued Jcard I couldn't legally go to work.(WA at least allowed you to register with the board to at an A card)
hello Craigslist. hello HD parking lot.
(And met an EC there who set me up for some good work in washington)
