9. Lifeguard
Being a lifeguard is a good opportunity in the summer. You’ll have lots of work and you’ll get to meet a lot of people. The difficulty in this job lies in the fact that you have to get certified first before you can get a job like this. Luckily, you can get certification as young as 16. If you’re already a good swimmer then this is no difficult task.
