What are some summer jobs for 15-year-olds?

Jobs in America for tourists, particularly summer camp jobs?

• I recently won a J1 visa with my bank, I would really like to go and work in America for the summer but I don't think it'd be a wise move to just book my flights and expect something to pop up. I would just be looking for a job to put a roof over my head for my stay, but something that I could arrange before I got there. I was thinking that a job at a summer camp would be perfect as it offers accommodation, meals and a small amount of cash to cover the cost of flights and maybe some travel afterwords. I was wondering if anyone from outside of the states knows of any summer camps or programs that would be aimed at 'visitors'. I'm in my second year at university and have experience working with youths/teenagers (aged 11-17) as well as voluntary social care. Please note that I don't have my mind set on a summer camp job that was just one thought, I also applied to be an au pair, if you have any ideas fire away. Cheers

• Answer:

  depends how picky you are about working....you can find work especially right now in spots like california and vegas cause summer is here and they hire a lot of people for summer jobs...at pools and such. you might not get a dream job but if you come you will find something. it helps to know people...where are you trying to go would also be a factor in your job search
