It's not good money unless you're a gun picker and I never saw any of the Brit backpackers that were gun pickers. Most would smash a day, be totally fucked, spend all their money that night on beer (and the sunscreen they forgot as three layers of skin peels away) and not return to the job, presumably asking M&D for more money as there was "just no work for me"...
hippy

A summer picking fruit for beer money whilst traveling to one of the colonies doesn't really compare to staring down the barrel of years of unsecured, underpaid seasonal work in a place you're probably not planning on sleeping in hostels or leaving entirely come winter.
