so my parents have been yelling at me to get a job for a while now and im starting to think theyre right.  i need a decent summer job, but heres my problem: i dont need to do it for the money, just to get my parents satisfied.  that being said, i dont care if its a really easy job with crap pay, and i dont want to work a lot of hours, because i want to maintain some sort of social life if at all possible.  any ideas?

mow lawns. Trust me it sounds gay but it is perfect lawns usually only take an hour or so and most people pay 20 bucks so do 2 or 3 lawns a day and its good money and good hours

yeah, but out of your experiences, what jobs are the most fun/best benefits.  like i knew a kid who worked at the movie theater and we all got free tickets all the time. stuff like that.

I worked at an ice cream place during the summer and it was great. Good hours, good tips, sweet vibe. what more could I want?

It depends on the aiport.  If it usually caters to smaller planes then you'd be set for a job there.  You have to be 18 to pump fuel, but they are always looking for guys to wash airplanes everytime they get an annual (serviced).  I'm not sure on the age but they would probably be fine with 14-15 year old.  As for money expect 50-100 bucks a plane depending on the size.  Just go to your local airport and ask.
