Some Summer Jobs are Better than Others

If you are looking to trim some of your college debt and increase your disposable income, summer jobs are the way to go.  These summer jobs can also be awesome experiences and create memories for a lifetime.  If you can swing it, you might as well land the best paying and most fun.  I would think painting a cruise ship in the Caribbean might be more fun than painting a barn.

Here's a list from http://www.summerjobfinder.com/ and a few of my own:

• Jobs at Summer Camps
• Working at a Dude Ranch
• Alaska Seafood Processing Jobs (and fishing boats)
• National Park Jobs (City, State, and National Parks)
• Forest Fire Fighting Jobs
• Hospitality Jobs (Beach Resorts, Spas, Hotels, Casinos)
• Nanny and Au Pair Jobs
• Alaska Summer Employment
• Jobs at Theme Parks
• Outdoor Jobs
• Cruise Ship Jobs
