The Worst Summer Jobs We've Ever Had
When we think of summer, we often imagine days spent lounging on the beach, swimming at the neighbor's pool, or hanging out at the local ice cream joint. But for some people, summer isn't an extended period of leisure. Rather, it's a time to get working and bring in some extra cash.
Surprisingly, it seems today's teens aren't all that motivated to work when school's out. Only 43% of teenagers held jobs last summer, compared with 72% back in 1978, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. And while many teens are forgoing employment to take classes, volunteer, or do other such things that further their education and increase their chances of getting into college, for others, it's likely a matter of not wanting to waste away behind the counter of a fast-food joint or suffer a similar fate.
