Summer Jobs

That sounds like a lot of fun for her. My favorite summer job was when I worked at a local stable in exchange for jumping lessons. I even got to keep my horse there so he could teach the horse at the same time. It was a lot of fun and some hard work. Mostly just cleaning stalls and exercising horses so there was fun involved...lol I even got to lead a few trail rides when someone was out sick or busy with something else.

I think that's great that your daughter has a summer job. I am sure she is enjoying working there and naming those pups sounds cool too.

It is funny since I am cleaning offices and such. My first summer job as a teen was cleaning peoples houses. It was a good starting out job for me. I hope your daughter likes it very much and that it is a beginning of a good work career in some fashion. My daughter will be old enough to work this fall. Wish us luck!!

I too have started with an internship this summer. Unfortunately, i won't get paid for the work I do. The internship is a structured course set up by our college and we will be graded on the basis of what we do in the organization. It will be a wonderful exposure to corporate life , and will make my vacations a bit more interesting.

I did lawn & yard work for a couple of neighbors when I was too young to get a real summer job. I loved it. I was able to work on my tan while working & was paid pretty nicely considering how young I was. It was definitely a whole lot better than my first "real" job working in a busy seafood resterant. That was hard work & I always smelt like fish- ick!

That sounds like she has a fun job. I worked at a soda fountain and I really liked it. I got to know the customers and it was a good experience.

I always was a baby sitter when I was too young to do any other work. My mom was not in favor of it at first. She thought it would be too much responsibility. Then one day she looked out, and we had about twenty kids in our yard, because our house and my brother and sister, were the only people and place that everyone could play at. I was "watching the kids" so she could do the laundry. After that she felt I might as well do it in a way that I could get paid. I went to work at the Last Frontier Council, Boy Scouts of America, when I finished high school a semester early. I think that was my first job other than baby sitting. It was basic office support.

I used to teach tap dancing classes when I was in high school. I loved it!

That sounds like a great summer job. She must have a love for animals. Maybe this will influence her career plans. My summer job when I was young was to work at my Grandparents lake,it was a fee fishing lake and it was a lot of fun.

That is cute. I have never thought about naming animals after country singers. That's a great idea.

I didn't get to do very many different summer jobs when I was younger. My first one was strawberry picking. It was not fun! Being a redhead and fair skinned, I had to keep myself covered as much as possible. Being covered and with the heat, my gosh, it was terrible. After about 2 weeks I quit! I wasn't making that much anyway and it didn't seem worth the trouble. Then I got a job at a restaurant as a "kitchen helper". Now I had fun at that one. I got to learn how to make a lot of good food by watching my boss and I got to run the fryers. Yes, that was hot too but not so bad. Drinks were free and so was a lunch consisting of any sandwich on the menu with one side order if you worked at least 6 hours.

My favorite summer job was working at a drive-in movie theatre. I actually loved it so much I stayed on there even after I graduated college and worked nights there after working a long day in a law office. I made some great friends there and saw some wonderful and forgetful movies and along the way was introduced to some colorful characters, some of them arrived in the trunk of another person's car.

That is so cute.I never had a summer job but I did have to help out doing alot chores because I lived on a farm.
