Default summer job ideas?

Hey everyone, im looking at finding a summer job. Im pretty much open to any ideas. Im good at math and physics, so if i could use those for some thing that would be best. Whatever pays the most. If anyone has any ideas go ahead and shoot em my way. Thanks!

Painters are decent pay for college/high school kids... can range from 8-14 bucks an hour, at least in my area.

Being a waiter in good establishments is another thought that comes to mind...

Being a waiter means that he/she (sorry don't know you) is most likely going to be working evenings when friends are out having a good time.

I worked as a labourer all through uni and it paid better than my first year in the real workforce + I could work lots of overtime if i wanted. If you know what you want to do when you finish uni etc you should try and find something related to that so you gain a perspective of things from that point of view. Eg Im a structural engineer so I did labour working for a carpenter, sheetmetal work and other building industry jobs.

Haha its cool. My parents made a deal with me that if i made an 800 on any of my SATs that they would buy me an acura rsx-s. I made 3 800s (Math SAT2, Physics SAT2, Math SAT1) and found an s2k for a little more than the rsx. I had some money and saved up the difference, a little over a 1000, and insurance was the exact same, so i got the s2k instead. The s2k was a really really really good deal. And i got into my 1st choice for college. I see my S everyday and go and think how lucky i am.

For the job im thinking ill work at a movie theater if i cant find something that requires a little bit of skill. I only need to earn enough for a laptop.

im wasnt a comp sci major but i could code and the university paid me 15 an hr to write apps for them.

later i worked off campus for 18-20 an hr.

computer skills can also help u build up a resume before u get a real job outside of school
