Replying to Wise NS's, advise on summer living/work

I need guidance from the wise newschoolers on here. Once I finish out my spring semester at psu I want a 3 month summer job out west near Ca from mid May to Aug.
Now I need someone to point me in the right direction or take me under their wing. I don't mind working a summer camp at a resort or a hard job to cover living and expenses. I want to start my home base out west so this trip would let me do a lot of exploring and I'm all about the experience. I am able to transport myself out there and back. I'm majoring in entrepreneurship and risk management real estate so I would be able to apply my skills to that job. Let me know if you have any advise for me.

Honest answers would be appreciated!
