Need a job for summer.

I need help for summer job ideas.?

• I'm 17 years old, I've done tons of volunteering around town working with kids, I peer tutor at school, I mentor middle schoolers, and a lot more activities, but I can't seem to find a summer job anywhere. Most places want college kids- I'm going to be a senior in high school. I really need a job this summer to save up for college and I'm just getting so frustrated. I'm a great worker and I know I could hold a job. Any advice on places to apply? At this point I don't even care where it is, a job is a job. I originally wanted to work with kids or the elderly somehow, but whatever I can get is okay with me. Ideas please! Thanks. :)

• Answer:

  If you can swim I would try lifeguarding. You can sign up to get certified at your YMCA, it only takes like 4 days to complete the program. And they earn good money!! I'm lifeguarding this summer, and I'm psyched! Its gonna be awesome! Good luck!! :)
