As far as summer time jobs, that will depend on an individual’s interests and strengths. I have worked as a recreation leader for our local park and rec and also as an activity coordinator for a nonprofit agency. Some of my fellow teachers have worked as personal care assistants for the elderly, salespeople at Macy’s, front desk at a luxury resort, airport shuttle bus driver, and translator (from Spanish into English.)

Lifeguarding at the local pool is also a pretty decent job….Bartending….Running a summer camp……Working at museums,galleries, etc.

Of course if you’re looking to improve your wardrobe for the upcoming school year, I would definitely recommend a clothing store (Kohls, Macy’s, etc.).

Their are businesses that specialize in individual teaching, that hire teachers, Day- cares hire teachers for the summer to cover for teachers vacations. Go to your local employment office to find out what jobs are needed in your area.

Next year I am designing a biochemistry curriculum to be implemented in high school chemistry programs for a 5 summer research gig.

This year I’m hoping to learn how to tune pianos.

You’ve gotta keep it interested and related to teaching. I also suggest that you try to work as many high school jobs as you can while young.

I’ve worked BK, pizza delivery, construction, mall, dishwasher, gives you great stories for downtime.
