re: Summer jobs in HS/college

HS worked at a hotel as a gofer and then at Pizza Hut. College I was a scholarship athlete (golf), so naturally I worked at a country club where I could practice and play for free every day.

Feel bad for some kids because gas is $4.70 for regular where I am at, so no lawn cutting business's or cruising the town for them probably.

That and it seems like all the people that cut grass when I was in HS are still cutting grass for a living 25 years later

HS: stockroom for various retail shops
College: Can't really call it a summer job when you did it all year; but retail, tried service industry for a month, ended up as a bank teller until I graduated

Lifeguard at a country club. It wasn't what you think. The sun was oppressive. Milfs were nonexistent, just a bunch of bratty youngins. Highlight of the day was policing up soiled diapers around the kiddie pool.

used to run wire and help set up business telecom systems

Worked on the farm doing hay and rice and then worked construction

Pumped gas at my uncle's station. Made eighty cents an hour. Worked for a hardware store where I helped an old man pull water wells and replace the pumps. Then worked for a traffic survey company counting cars at intersections. Then worked for the railroad switching boxcars and riding trains.

While at LSU in 2002, 2003 I worked at Audubon Golf Course in New Orleans on the greens crew right after the renovation. Started out doing simple things and by the end of the first summer, I was mowing fairways and rough on a TriKing and cutting greens. Would work 6-2 every day, then grab clubs and play 9 or 18.

Then Brunos that night or TJs or Madigans.

Was incredible but hot as frick.

Pumped gas
Worked for an electrical contractor running service to rural homes
Worked at a liquor store
Worked at a paper wholesale co.

In highschool I had a restaurant job and worked as a summer camp counselor.

In college I had no less than 11 different jobs, usually working 2-3 different ones at a time:
Phone surveys at LSU's PPRL
Sold textbooks at CTX
Kitchen at whatever that restaurant was after portobellos closed.
Sold blood plasma 2x a week for about 2 years
AV guy at big cox auditorium classroom
Wing stop Bluebonnet
Play N Trade Bluebonnet
Stockpile furniture store on airline
I'm sure I'm forgetting some too.

I worked at DeAngelo’s.

It really made me appreciate folks that work in the service industry and showed my the movie Waiting, is in fact, a documentary.
