How can I supplement my income as a contractor during dry spells of my main line of work? The money is good when I'm getting work, but when the industry is slow (this will happen every summer) My job would require me to leave for up to months at a time to work in a remote location, so I wouldn't be able to hold down any sort of part time work. The only option I can think of would be being a taxi driver, maybe one day I'll get that desperate but until then, what options do I have? I live in Australia btw

>Summers are slow
I don't know how it is there, but HVAC techs get a stupid amount of work during summer here. Maybe you can look into that.

I work in greenfield mining exploration, health factors are a much bigger risk because of extreme heat (looking at up to 50C during the summer) conditions and a lack of facilities.

I think this is the right way of looking at things though, find something that booms during the summer with an employer that can just hire me seasonally

Construction work booms in the summer and is slow in winter. Hook up with a building or repairing company.

>shut down because of 50deg heat
No mines shut down due to heat, why do you?

I don't know what shit's like in Australia, but as long as your country isn't full Southeast Asia just sell weed my Emuphobic friend. I did it from 12 to now (21) and it's good supplemental income.
