Wow, your daughter worked OVER a 12 hour day every weekday all summer? She sounds extremely hardworking; that trait will serve her well if it does not burn her out. Insane that college is so expensive. That schedule is so hectic I'm surprised she had enough time left to have a nice enjoyable summer!

It took my 18-year-old DD a while to find a job this summer.

My DD has had a summer job in moco since age 14. The work permit is easy - it's just a form.
Pool snack bars are popular first jobs. Anything pool or tennis court related.
Then, lifeguards are always in high demand. Old navy/scooping ice cream, day camp counselor, the list is endless.

They have close family friends that vacation there and have summer homes like Valerie Jarrett. She has parental supervision.
