Summer camp counselor with another NSer. Solid pay and the hours are ideal 9-12 in the morning then nights (2 a week) are 5-8. Plus we go on trips to Water Country and places like that and I'll get like 10 hours of pay. STOKED

Take rich Russians on Mediterranean tours with an old Volvo Ocean 60.

The pay is not that stellar, but spending my days on a crazy fast yacht and then the evenings in clubs on the french Rivera makes up for it.

I'll be captain this year, so we are definitely going to hit an iceberg and drown.

The customers are the worst part.

"Ohh and be gentle please we want a light cruise past the harbors, none of that sideways stuff."

"......... next door is doing motor cruises, maybe that's more suited for you."

"No, we are sailor people!"

Or people who don't want to wear a sailing suit because it messes with their swag, until they get wet.

But worst are the know it all's who proclaim that everything you do is wrong.

If you golf get a job at a course. Pay is decent and a lot of benefits like free golf discounts in the pro shop sometimes discounted food. The only problem is the hours aren't ideal it's usually something around 6am-2pm or 2pm-10pm. Another advantage to it is you get to work outside all summer

Can I just have your life please?

I'm probably going to fix airplanes this summer because it's my job. But I don't know, I might not even have a job this summer and go for a commercial pilots license so I can fly for skrilla.
