I spent my summer working for a school supply store called School Stuff. I learned a lot about business and marketing, and made a lot of new friends. Plus, I got to meet a lot of cute little kids! Always fun.
Before this, I've worked at an insurance office (for help with filing papers), a major newspaper (as weekend help... putting the inserts and ads into Sunday papers), a pizza place (isn't that a mandatory part of high school?), and a local grocery store chain (helping people bag and carry out their groceries).
As far as I'm concerned, I really lucked out with my 'college job' - the people are great, the place is wonderful, and not only do I get off for FIRST competitions, my boss comes with me!
