[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Comments here about OP are pretty harsh. Yes, having any job is better than sitting at home for 3 months. But lifeguarding (again) at this stage in college will put this student at a disadvantage when she graduates and enters the job market, absent family connections. Internships are an important stepping stone to future employment.[/quote]

Forgot to add, I am pretty sure the niece already knows her lifeguarding job is not ideal. I hope OP is not pointing that out to the mom or the niece.

But there aren’t enough internships to go around. So many have been cut. So glad the niece has a summer job.  There are many college students out there still looking for regular service-type summer jobs. [/quote][/quote]

This. In this economy she is lucky she has any job.[/quote]

Rising junior nursing students at public universities and community colleges are making $30 an hour all summer. As many hours as they want.[/quote]
