Summer vacation may be vacation for some students, but for others it means getting a job, and entering the working world. Many high school students have at least one job during the summer months to make some money for them- selves. Students ' jobs range from factory work, car hopping at Tree ' s, lifeguarding at the pool, or even mowing lawns. If a student finds a job he enjoys, or even just finds a job at all, he is lucky, considering the cutbacks and unemploy- ment rate today. Besides having a job to keep them busy, more and more students are realizing that they need a job to afford some of the luxuries they have en- joyed. With rising prices of colleges, movies, gas, and other things that keep the normal teen- ager occupied, the job market is being filled with the younger generation. Although summer jobs can be very time consuming, they do have strong advantages. A job prepares students for the working world as well as teaching them to budget their money and time. By the time school rolls around in the fall, most of the students admit they had a funsummer, and many keep on working at their summer job.
