[quote=Anonymous]HS summers my kids attended/worked at their sleepaway camps so it was never an issue finding a job.

The older is now a rising senior in college, and struggled each summer in college to find a job because they didn’t have retail or service skills. Summer after first year in college, they again (grudgingly) were a camp counselor although for a local day camp. Summer after soph year they did not want to be a camp counselor again, and did not find a job until they came home after finals and more thoroughly exhausted applying online and in person to all sorts of retail, restaurant, etc jobs- they finally got a job as a restaurant busser, with crappy and erratic hours and not a lot of total hours. But, when they were applying for summer interships for this summer after junior year, most interviews asked a lot of questions tied back to that job so it was a good thing DC did it!

Younger kid has thankfully seen older sib’s summer job search struggles and got their lifeguard certification this past spring :-) So that’s my recommendation for every kid to do! [/quote]
