One of the greatest jobs you could possibly get is Lifeguard at a neighborhood pool (NOT a municipal public city pool).
*You can do the job as early as 16 years of age, sometimes 15
*Your uniform is a swimsuit
*You have a reasonable amount of authority
*You usually only actually work half of each hour you’re getting paid for…and by work I mean sitting in a chair under an umbrella.
*The other half hour you’re getting paid for but not working, you go swimming.
*You get to blow a loud ass whistle and yell at nuisance kids
*You will come to see stormy days as the most beautiful days ever – Thunder and lightning means a day of sitting and playing cards and other games with your co-lifeguard, or however you want to pass the time… and you get paid for every bit of it.
*Depending on your neighborhood, there’s always chances for some sweet eye-candy in bathing suits.
*The pay is pretty damn good – even better if you lifeguard at private parties on the side… and even MORE better if you teach private swimming lessons to the little rugrats in the neighborhood.
*Lifeguard Competition – Yes its a thing. All the guards in your region compete at a waterpark for prizes and glory, doing lifeguard stuff. The “practice” meets are just giant games of sharks and minnows and marco polo with margaritas and beer.
*You have access to a huge awesome swimming pool at any time of day or night.
*You’re pretty much guaranteed to get a sweet tan.
The list goes on and on, you just have to do it for one summer and find out. It’s an easy job, the schedules are flexible and very easy, lifeguards are always in demand, and in the event you have to make a save, you could change someone’s life by keeping it from ending.
