Do you live in Canada?
Are you around 18 - 25 years old?
Do you have no idea what in the world you're doing with your life?
Do you want to get some money, have a fun time, and experience life outside your comfort zone?
If you've said yes to all the above, then I've got just the job for you.
Tree-planting.
Every summer (~April - August), millions of tiny a$$ trees are planted as required by the Canadian law that states that every tree that is cut must be replanted. Thus the profession and tradition of tree-planting is created. Basically, you and a bunch of other people, will be going out in the middle of nowhere to camp there for a few months and wake up at 6 every day to plant trees for 8-10 hours a day.
The trees are slammed into the ground at a breakneck speed under the hot a$$ sun, freezing cold temperatures, rains that gives the whole crew mild hypothermia, and swarms of bugs trying to eat any skin that is exposed and not dipped in bug spray, especially when you're trying to take a shit or piss in the middle of the land. The amount of freedom you get with this job is worth noting as this is one of the only jobs in a first world country where you can literally pull your pants down and take a dump right where you're standing, in the middle of work, without getting fired or a sexual harassment lawsuit. Cool right?
You get paid per tree planted so the more you work, the more you get paid. Trust me, it really gives you motivation to work harder as you know the size of your paycheck depends on how hard you work.
There's nothing to spend money on out there so you will basically be keeping all the money you earn, minus camp costs and (optional) drugs, etc.
Also, there will essentially be no internet, cell service, etc. and you will be cutoff from the rest of the world for most of the time you're there, which leaves you and your tribe of crazy fellow tree-planters to socialize, do drugs, party, or have sex in your free time, which is honestly a very refreshing break.
By the end of the planting season, you will be so F*cking fit, you can out stamina any of your friends back in the city as you will be carrying up to 50+lbs of trees on your body and walking and exercising all day. You will have the best sleep you have ever had, and by the end, waking up early in the morning will be the norm (assuming you don't stay up all night to do drugs) . You'll get a chance to experience how humans were truly evolved to be.
What I find personally to be the biggest benefit of tree-planting is that you develop a crazy stupid stubbornness. Over the course of the first few days, or even weeks, your mind will torture you with negative shit as you are neither mentally nor physically fit enough to be able to do the job for the whole day, but I promise you if you stick with it, you will be able to hit numbers that seemed literally impossible in the first week. (I averaged 600 trees first week and somewhere around 2500 the last week)
Go tree-planting if you have nothing better to do.
On an unrelated note, I have been learning copywriting recently, so I'm making an effort to write better and post more frequently on the forum. If you guys have any tips for me to improve readability, attention-grabbyness, clarity, etc. it will be much appreciated.
