Summer jobs certainly aren't what they used to be. The "lazy" days at the beach, running after kids at day camp, or clearing tables after the lunch rush were the typical summer jobs of previous generations. But with today's dizzying array of options for how to spend a summer, how do you choose?
It's not just about getting a job - it's about getting the job you want and building a career. So, while those traditional summer jobs are still out there, are they the right choice for you?
