I’m not really old enough to work a real job, this summer I was a counselor at a day camp for little and I also worked at a burger joint, scooping ice cream, working the cash register, and washing dishes.  Not exactly the most fun thing in the world but I made some money.

sweet job man.

not being sarcastic here. I used to work a store in a mall and went to target every day for dinner (chicken fingers=magic.) and was jealous of everyone in there. They all seemed happy, i know they got paid more than i did, and it looked great. Then i went back to my dump where the ac or heat was always dead, half the lights were off, and everyone looked miserable.

I'm at university but in the summer I have an awesome job...

I teach extremely rich foreign kids how to sail at an international school based in a huuuuge manor house on the east coast of England. I get paid a fair bit of bank to drive around in high-powered power boats teaching these kids how to sail... It's such a sweet job especially with the brilliant weather we had this summer! Also we run powerboat trips out in the estuary, getting paid to rag a boat around is a seriously sweet deal! Shame it's only for the summer; cos I love it!

Head sailing instructor at our yacht club/ Race coach.

I team beginners how to sail from ages 4 - 65.

Then I coach our race team for Junior Olympics, national regattas, and prep them for high school and college sailing.

Make a lot of money, work really nice and easy hours.  And get to do what i love doing during the summer- sailing.
