Summer Couples Jobs Experience?

My significant other and I are thinking about finding summer jobs together. Are there any seasonal positions that are great for couples? We're both still in high school and would love to work together if possible.

Absolutely, there are several summer jobs that high school students can do together. Remember that you'll likely need to apply separately, but you can request to work the same shifts or mention that you'd prefer to work together during the hiring process.

Camp counseling is an excellent option. Many summer camps actively recruit couples because they need both male and female counselors. Since camps often operate on a 24/7 basis, having a job like this could mean spending a lot of quality time together.

Another option is the hospitality sector - restaurants, resorts, and amusement parks often hire extra help during the busy summer months. You could both work in the same establishment, perhaps even the same shifts, in roles such as servers, hosts, or ride operators.

If you want to spend your summer outdoors, consider positions like lifeguards, sports coaches, or gardening/grass cutting services, which increase in demand during the warmer months.

Retail is another industry that often needs extra staff during the summer, especially stores that sell beach-related items or summer apparel.

Keep in mind that while it's great to want to spend a lot of time together, it might also be a good experience to have separate jobs. This could give you different experiences to share and talk about, and could help you develop your own professional skills individually. Either way, summer jobs can be an amazing experience and provide valuable work and life skills. Good luck with your job hunting!
