Five Fun Jobs for Teens

If you’re looking for more ideas on what type of jobs teens can do. We’ve compiled a list of our thoughts if Shenaniganz and Escapology don’t sound fun enough!

1. 1. Landscaping is one of those jobs that are perfect for a teen to do in the summer, especially if they like working hard in the sun. Some lawn care companies might hire teens to mow lawns, we recommend reaching out to your local lawncare companies.
2. 2. Smoothie or ice cream shops are another great job for teens in the summer. They get to keep cool while making sweet treats for people to enjoy. While the lines might get hectic in the summer time, we think free or discounted smoothies are a fair trade for the madness.
3. 3. Lifeguarding is one of those quintessential teen summer jobs. They get to learn some great skills like CPR and get a great lesson in responsibility to help keep others safe.
4. 4. Fast Food work may not always be glamorous for a teen job, but discounted food is always a perk.
5. 5. Working retail is another one of those teen jobs that just feels like a rite of passage. We think a perk of this job is really for the parents, your teen will get tons of practice folding clothes, making laundry day in your household less of a chore.
