It's about time to start looking for something to do in the summer so i was wondering if anyone knows of any good summer jobs...basically i don't like dealing with people so any job where i can avoid bitchy customers would be nice. the last 2 summers i've worked at an amusement park and it's been ok but people just drive me nuts with there bitching and shit. the second thing is that i'm more on the lazy side when it comes to working so i don't really want a really physical job such as landscaping or painting. my friend told me about some travel company that hires college students for the summer, pays for their travel expenses so that they can write reviews on hotels and spas and crap like that. my friend who told me this is the kind of kid who says stuff thats not always true so there is a VERY good chance that there is no such thing as that. but if there is, anyone know of something like that? cause that would be a sick job for the summer

mow lawns man, i no its physical, but its good money.  Just barrow your pops lawn mover and travel across town.  Set a min of 15-20 bucks a lawn and go up if the size is bigger.  You can get people that will hire you back every week so you can have a pretty good schedule.  The best part is if somthing comes up you can just call them and be like i cant make it ill come by tomaro and get er done.

if you live out west and you are over 18 you could probably get a job roughnecking. You will make about 30 bucks an hour. 12 hour days 7 days a week then 7 days off. You will also get in good shape. But you could die... :(

Seriously if anyone lives in the denver area and wants a job on a rig pm me. Hard workers over 160 pounds and 19 plus in age.

I worked at a local hardware store over the summer.. I highly recommend against it if you don't want to deal with people. I know a decent amount about it from growing up in the garage but I don't know everything about plumbing and electrical issues..some old guys would straight up ask for other people to help them. I can't really blame them, but they were dicks about it. Probably doesn't help that I was a 16 year old girl. Oh well..

This summer I'm babysitting haha. Hell yeah.

It was for about a year. Then I got sick of getting a shitload of pm's from horny, prepubescent 13 year old boys.

if taht is a serious post......
a clam is a kind of shellfish that lives in the mud on beaches. The have a roughly oval shaped smooth shell and make a very tasty meal, (although I personally don't care for them). They can't be dug all year round, so it would just be a seasonal type job and often near towns on the coastline they can't be dug, because the water and mud is so polluted.

I thought I was the only one working at a hardware store...

You could get certified being a lifeguard.  I just got certified last summer.  But you have to be a pretty strong swimmer and react quickly in emergencies.  However the pay is pretty good, and the job is mostly easy, just pool maintenance and sitting on your ass getting a tan all day watching women.  You can easily work it during the school year too.

i did tree work.  sure its manual labor, but as far as manual labor goes its easy manual labor, you stay in shape, and its a lot more interesting that landscaping/lawn mowing, and land clearing and cutting down trees is fun.  good money too

Id find a resort if you have one nearby to do summer stuff. Mountain biking, golf courses, lots of resorts do boating (wakeboard lessons) and rafting trips. Or if you kayak / raft working somewhere like that woul dbe tight too

lifeguard. ive been doing it for about 4 years now and it is without a doubt the easiest job ever.... as long as the pool your working at doesnt get too crazy. but even if it does it makes the time go by way faster. plus you get a good tan that the ladies love

LIFEGUARD.
My bro does it, and I'm starting this summer.

All you do is sit on your ass an look at hotties.

You do have to get certified, though, which kinda sucks.
