High Paying Summer Jobs?

So seeing as I'm injured and likely won't be riding much for the rest of the season, I'm trying to utilize my down time and get an early jump on employment ideas for the summer. I'll be working at Ohio Dreams again this summer, and then probably working in the same ski shop that I worked in this year, next winter. The trick is finding something to fill that gap from mid August until mid November.

I've worked as a landscaper/mower for the same company the past 4 summers, but I'm hoping to switch it up and find something where I can make a bit more money. I don't have a college degree and I'm not in school, I like working hard/working outdoors, and I have some experience when it comes to certain equipment operation (landscaping related) as well as basic tool/repair knowledge. This is all making me lean towards something like working for a logging company, on an oil rig, on a fishing/crabbing boat, or something else forestry/outdoors related.I don't mind having to bust ass for a few months as long as the potential for good pay is there.

If anyone has any experience or knowledge in regards to these professions, I would really appreciate any info you could give me including what those types of employers look for in a new worker and what the pay scale would be for someone starting out. I did some research on my own already, though I was having trouble finding specifics i.e. pay scale, good/bad employers, locations, etc. Plus I figure NS would be a good place to ask seeing as pretty much everyone on here salivates at the thought of being able to work hard all summer and then ski all winter. I am also open to any other ideas/jobs that would be good, high paying summer/fall seasonal work. Thanks for any info.
