Top summer jobs for teenagers

School is almost out and the dilemma for parents of teenagers is this:  Do I pay someone (basketball camp, STEM camp, theater camp, etc.) to take my kid off my hands while I work?  Or do I get someone to pay my kid and get them out of my hair (and off of Fortnight)?

 

If you are leaning toward the latter, here a few well-paying summer jobs for teenagers found on Forbes.com.

 

  • Golf Caddy – Depending on tips, you make $20-$30/hour for carrying 2 bags for 18 holes.
  • Babysitting – Average pay is about $13/hour.
  • Lifeguard – Ah the power of whistling and yelling “Don’t Run!” at $9.25/hour.
