PROS:

  • Flexibility: This job can just a summer gig or all-year round depending on your preference. “Working as a sub at the high school, I can take a shift when I need to. Working at Cascade, I can also get a good number of days off as well as work as much as I need,” Hunter Converse ‘20 said.
  • Working outside: This job is special because it doesn’t necessarily keep you cooped up inside a building. “I get to work outside during the summer and I get to interact with people at the pool,” Daisy Brown ‘19 said.

 

CONS:

  • Monotony: Compared with other jobs, this job can be relatively inactive and repetitive. “Sometimes it’s boring to sit in the stands on slow days,” Brown said. According to Converse, “doing the same thing over and over” becomes tedious.
  • Overwork: Lengthy shifts are an unfortunate part of this job. “On busy days you have to work for a long time without a lot of break time,” Brown said.
  • Difficult clients: “Dealing with patrons can be a pain, but it’s part of the job,” Converse said.
