In High School, I worked one summer in the Big Thicket National Preserve building T-bar boundary fence and cutting hiking trails.

Worked at a plumbing supply warehouse in the middle of summer once. Most spent time helping unload tractor trailers and then putting the stuff up inside a big arse building with poor air circulation and no a/c. Also spent a lot of time outside loading an unloading with pipe and tubs. Overall it pretty much sucks.

I worked in a foundry in south Louisiana casting metal flanges for two years. I can not explain the heat in there and having to make heavy lifts. We worked 6 - 10's.

Worked Building Materials department at Lowe's. A Saturday during summer, I'm not sure there's a more physically demanding and hectic job. Wow.

Worked at a valet marina for a few years. The summer heat sucked the life out of you, but it quickly made its way back in when the hotties in bikinis would pull up to the dock! I still go back on boating holidays sometimes and give out jello shots and grill.
