life guard at beach food industry retail store

lifeguard, it was the funnest job of my life!

In high school I had a paper route first thing in the morning, then I mowed lawns with my buddy in the early hours of the day, before it got too hot. You make good money, the work is done early in the day and leaves plenty of time for fooling around, and the lawn money is all "under the table" so you get to pocket all of it - unless you decide to report it to the IRS. :-)
