Anyone have any good ideas for summer jobs? I was thinking something like ups unloading packages or something because it would probably pay decent.

if you have access to a good mower, nothing beats mowing lawns. if you get like 10 or 12 lawns, charge like 25 or 30 bucks a pop, you can wipe out a full weeks work in 2 days max and get like 360 dollars. that's like working a full time job and getting paid 10 dollars an hour. plus, with lawns, no taxes!!!!

One of the best jobs I ever had when I was a teenager was delivering pizzas for Roundtable. My managers were drug dealers, so that meants all the free pizzas I wanted for me and my friends, pretty much whenever I wanted. Plus, I made so much in tips. I'd deliver to rich people, and I'd come home with 50-150 in tips everday. The hours were sweet 11-6. I loved that job so much.

bsmith01 I was thinking the exact same fucking thing for my summer job. My friend's dad works for Fedex and he said that they hire a lot of mechanical engineering students for summer jobs/internships and stuff like that, so I'm trying to get a summer job in that kind of a field, but if all else fails I'm gonna try and move boxes this summer.

I dont' know about you, but it's kind of hard to work during the school year when you're taking 18+ credits... I can't only hope to make enough money during the summer and not spend it all so I have money for the school months.

this summer i worked as a lifty at mt snow. it was pretty chill cause no one would show up on the weekdays, so we'd just blaze and do whatever. we fixed the loading and unloading ramps too but that's the only actual work we had to do

If you want the ultimate summer job be a caddie. The work labor isn't that brutal and you usually only work until noonish. When I was 15 I caddied made $35-45 a round, I only worked weekends and never double bagged. It's good money and if you get to know the members at the local golf club they can totally give you the hookup many many things.

Another sweet job I had was valet parking.. but you have to be older, and basically know someone... but it was rad to drive/race around expensive cars while everyone was inside at the event.

golf caddie at a nice country club is great, i worked at Oak Hill one summer and made a lot, rich people's tips are amazing! umpiring is a good job too if you have expierence, i did that for 3 years after 7th 8th and 9th grade, and was making 20 bucks a game my 3rd season, work 5 games a weekend and you can pick up an easy tax free 100 bucks, i did landscaping summer before 11th grade and made a ton of money under the counter but the work sucked and i mainly dug ditches, HOWEVER looking back on it im glad i did that cuz i made a ton of money and learned a lot of good stuff, and got in awesome shape, and then last summer i worked at target, and that was boring as hell!

umpire dude

if you have like a park with a few fields in one place its better. get you and a couple friends and go to your municiple building and ask for a phone number for the president of the little league assn. most likely theyll hook you up with a training session and then you can just start signing up for games. also no taxes if you only do younger ages
