Summer Jobs for Teens

Redwing · 04-19-2010, 03:44 PM

For the three summers that I worked at the Old Country Store in Moultonboro, I commuted in my 14' Sea Nymph aluminum boat (which we still use today), with an 8 hp Evinrude, and docked it at Lees Mills, where we had our car parked and I drove to work. Much shorter commute than driving all around into town. I spent my lunch hours in my boat in middle of lake, sun bathing, reading, and floating with the loons. Those were the days, my friends!

Have them get a job at a gas dock. I did when I was thirteen (Arey's) and it was a lot of fun. If you have boys they will meet lots of chicks. I would not let my daughter work at a gas dock as they will meet too many guys.

Another good job that teaches them about hard work is bussing tables or dishwashing. Again, not a good job for daughters for the same reason above.

A girls' camp counselor is probably the only decent job for girls available. You have to limit their exposure to the public.
