O B S Help Wanted! That was a sign easily found throughout the summer months. Some businesses were looking for part-time help, while others requested full-time employ- ees. After filling out the application, questions often ranged from How much is the pay? to How long are the hours? When the school term had ended for the summer, many students began to work at their place of employ- ment. Other students took the summer as rest and relax- ation time. Getting up early to open up or working until midnight to close-up was never experienced by the sum- mer ' s unemployed. Summer jobs varied greatly. Many were employed at a fast-food restaurant, while others were taking in the sun on lifeguard duty. Park jobs were often filled by high school students by umping a ball game or mowing the grass. Summer jobs often had there ups and downs. Fun was involved in the work, but chaos is stirred in also. When asked about the ice cream business, Dana Wood replied, People tell you it ' s to go after you have made it up. Future careers are often taken into consideration in the search for a summer job. Secretarial jobs were filled by students majoring in business. Becky Jackson com- mented, I received a lot of experience from my job. The pay wasn ' t bad either. After the summer was over, many students quit their jobs in preparation for the school year. Others some- times held on to their job as long as possible. Working for a boss was a rewarding experience. It prepared a stu- dent for the business-world after graduation. by Lori Forrest 18 SUMMER JOBS i
