Summer is just around the corner, and many people do not have a job. Sad huh? If you are a discouraged worker, you might be able to find a fun summer job to keep you going. Its just like high school.
MainStreet, a site by TheStreet.com (of Jim Cramer fame), has a great article on fun jobs for the laid off. I suggest getting a new “real job”, but this will work as a temporary gap filler. New college grads might consider these too if they are still in the midst of the job search.
Included in the list are jobs like dog walker. Someone might be willing to pay you a fair fee to take their pet around the block every day. My personal addition to the list is cashier or waiter/waitress. Retail and restaurants are always hiring. I spent two months as a waiter. I promise, the job is not “below you” unless money is below you. I made great tips in my time as a server.
