Ideas for a good summer job? I have run my own landscaping company for the past few summers but due to the overlap of work and school at the beginning and ends of the season I am trying to find something different. I need something that allows me to continue to train, and I need it to pay well. What have you guys done in the past that has worked out well?
lifeguard...most pools don't open until 10 or later so you can run in the morning and close by 5 or 6 so you can run afterwards. just make sure to drink water during your shift and you can cross train by swimming during your breaks.
if that isn't your cup of tea try and get an internship where you sit in an office chair in the air conditioned comfort of a building all day
Work anywhere but at a restaurant.
Work at a large sporting goods chain in the shoe department and laugh at people buying shoes they don't need.

I loved lifeguarding, but I never got paid very well.
get off the boards nate
I worked as desk clerk in a motel for a summer. Basically I watched TV and hung out from 4 to midnight every day. It allowed plenty of time for training and didn't tax my body like a job waiting tables or landscaping would have.
Some of my friends worked at running shoe stores, this is a pretty chill job (mostly sitting around being pretentious about running shoes) and you get discounted or comped shoes and running products all the time.
