Which seasonal jobs are great if you don't have a degree?

I'm looking to work a seasonal job, but I haven't started college yet. What are some top seasonal jobs for someone who's still in high school and doesn't have a degree?

There are quite a few seasonal jobs you can consider that don't require a degree and would suit a high school student. Here are some examples:

1. Retail Sales: Many retail stores hire additional employees during busier times of the year like the holidays. You could consider positions in larger department stores, clothing boutiques, or specialty retailers.

2. Seasonal Farm Work: Depending on the time of year, farms may need additional help with harvesting crops or working at farmers markets.

3. Lifeguard: If you have the required certification, a seasonal job as a lifeguard at a local pool or beach would be a good fit, particularly in the summer months.

4. Camp Counselor: Overnight and day camps usually hire high school and college students to work as camp counselors during the summer. This can be a really fulfilling job if you enjoy working with children.

5. Tour Guide: If you live in a city that attracts a lot of tourists, consider working as a tour guide. This can be especially busy during the holiday season or summer months.

Remember, having a job in high school, no matter what it is, can be a valuable experience. It can teach you time management skills, give you a sense of responsibility, and offer an early look at the world of work. Plus, colleges often look favorably upon students who have held part-time jobs as it shows a level of maturity and initiative.
