Not in the slightest. I'm a little concerned for her. Our oldest won't start college until next year, so it's not like I'm saying my kids are better than their cousins or anything like that either.[/quote]

Bull crap. Otherwise, why did you feel the need to say that she goes to an "expensive and selective college" and title your post "For a rising college junior, lifeguarding is not a “real” summer job/internship, right?"

It’s noteworthy. Her parents have paid a fortune for her education and after two years she’s still only equipped for the same low skill gig and not development any new skills for another summer? An est. $180k for training and skill development over two years, yet at the same job any 16 year old high schooler can do.[/quote]

Um. Lifeguarding is not a low skill gig.  The certification process is rigorous and requires recertification every two years.

And you definitely scale up responsibility the longer you guard.  Next step is usually pool operator, which requires another set of certifications.
