Don’t ever get a job you depend on for your ski pass, and never ever get a job that requires you to show up before 3, preferably 4:30-5 pm. Take into consideration—wretched as they can be—jobs that involve food service will take care of your grocery bill. And, if you quit your job for whatever reason (i.e., your boss won’t give you time off to go slay some ongoing massive, storm in Utah) you will still have a pass when you get back.
