9. Amusement Park Employee
$10 – $12/Hour
Being an employee in an amusement park is the next job on our list of best summer jobs for college students in NYC. That is quite a logical choice during summer for those people who like working outdoor jobs. Plus, you get to have a lot of fun while earning your own money, which can never be a bad idea. However, if you are an introvert person who is not very into communicating with people all day, you should think twice about this. On the other side, adrenaline lovers will love this job, since it will include free tickets for everything in most cases. You will be surrounded by kids, adults who came to have fun and you will make a lot of new friendships while working, so use the opportunity of living in this giant city with numerous parks and find your place in one of them.
