Jobs besides fast food and retail

1.Outdoor Work

If you like being outside (and want to work on your tan while being paid), outdoor job may be the ideal choice for you, and there are lots of opportunities. Do a quick Google search to check if there are any local orchards, national parks, greenhouses, farms, or conservatories that are recruiting.

If you reside in an urban or suburban region, check with your municipality to see if they have any openings for park maintenance workers.

2. babysitting

This position (which is open to both men and women) requires a distinct kind of customer service.

If you're patient, flexible, and devoted, and you adore kids, you'll probably like what's known as extreme babysitting. All you need is some babysitting experience, references, and a background check to get started. With school out, more families will be seeking for childcare assistance, so summer is an excellent time to hunt for nannying employment – and it typically pays well.

If you don't know any families who may benefit from your services, set up a profile on websites like Care and Nanny Lane.

3. Vacation Camps

Summer camps are the most likely to employ you of all the possibilities on this list. Camp counselor and lifeguard jobs are common, as are cleaning and secretarial jobs. Working at a summer camp is also a fantastic alternative if you don't want to remain at home for the whole summer since it generally includes accommodation and meals. These occupations may last the whole summer or simply part of it.

Camp Chief Ouray in Colorado, River Way Ranch Camp in California, and Camp Waziyatah in Maine are just a few of the outstanding summer camps in the nation.

4.Courses in Gold

This, like nannying, has the potential to pay very handsomely for very little work. While there are other summer career alternatives, caddying is the most popular. According to the New York Times, adolescent caddies earn an average of $120 for carrying two bags for 18 holes.

It's demanding, hot work, standing in the sun for hours and maybe dealing with grouchy elderly folks, but the money is fantastic.

5. Theatres

Working in a movie theater is a terrific summer job, as idealized as it may seem. It pays the minimum wage, but it is low-maintenance and simple labor, plus you get to watch movies for free (most do one free movie per shift). It's also air conditioned, which will provide welcome reprieve from the summer heat.

If you like seeing plays, symphonies, or musicals, you might try working as an usher at a fine arts theater.

6.Museums

If you are interested in history but do not want to work in a theater, consider working for a museum. You'll spend your summer in a calm, air-conditioned environment, learning enough fascinating stuff to either make you very cool or super dull at parties.
