Or any largeish park or forest, doesn't have to be that cool.

You should not put your summer jobs on your resume unless you are applying for junior positions.

I know things are different in Ameripoverty lands though. You don't get your first degrees until your late mid 20s, then have to work your debt off.

Stories about drug abuse are exaggerated, people like that don't last long. Of course there is a lot more substance abuse than in other fields but not as much as it is believed. Shity job really, over blown and hip of the moment for wannabe badasses.

Last few years I was a gardener at city park. It was the best. Nothing but compliments from grateful people all day and the work was super chill. This year I'm doing landscape construction with a different company. It's harder work but pays better. I'd recommend either if your an /out kind of person.

Still 1000x better than flipping burgers though. The last two summers I worked for a local pioneer farm, lots of nigger work, but also some good times slacking off in the back field eating wild raspberries and bitching about mosquitoes.

I work at a supermarket now (kill me) and this summer I would love to work at this organic community farm I volunteered at once. Just planting/picking/storing veggies. The only problem is it's a 30 min drive outside where I live and I don't have a car. So instead I'll probably look for an internship with the dnr or work at a running store

Nowhere right now. Hardly any jobs in my town unless you know someone, but at least in a few months I will be helping someone landscape for a while.

Not having a car hurts, and not living in the city hurts too. Can't get a car because no insurance (state law) and can't get insurance because no money.

It's hell.

It was a great job when the weather was good, when it rained it was so fucking depressing but there was a real sense of working mans camaraderie.

I was going to work at a BSA Summer Camp like I've been doing for the past 5 years. I've heard jack shit so far about being hired this year, but my brother got a one line email from some company we'd never heard of telling him is application he wasn't hired. Apparently the Council that owns the camp decided to outsource everything which means nobody who has worked in a position that matters at the camp in the past is going to be rehired. There were rumors of it last year, but we thought the plan had been dropped due to being fucking retarded. I'd thought the matter was completely dead this year when we did interviews where they acted like we were going to be rehired. I'd be less mad if they'd outright told us to fuck off. The thing that really gets me though is that this outsourcing is going to kill 65 years worth of traditions.

My old boss is doing hiring for a different camp, but it's farther away and I'm unsure at this point if it would be worth it.

We've built a small family farm.
It has many advantages, but the work never ends, and good help is hard to find.
You might be able to find work on one near you, but expect barter more than money for pay (ie, helping raise your food rather than buying it)

I work all year round at a car wash, but in the summer when I'm not busy with school I work at a cemetery doing groundskeeping/landscaping, machinery maintenance, some small-scale construction, and digging graves/burying the deceased. It's a surprisingly physical job, but the only real downside is that I always smell like gasoline when I go home.

At least it was at the foot of a scenic forested hill range with a nice horse stable nearby, so I got some glimpses of nature while cleaning up outside. Also did a ton of hiking and foraging. I don't know about this summer, I want to keep my options open.

Pretty autistic about heights though anon, that's why they hired me. The company burns through people real quick because heights. I just channel my inner /k and imagine I'm doing some operator training and get through it.
