Earn some extra summer cash by looking for seasonal jobs.[/caption]   The summer is upon us and you or your kids may have found you have extra time on your hands. A great way to spend your extra time this summer is by picking up a second or part-time job. The summer offers a variety of seasonal jobs that are a great way to make some extra summer cash. Here are a few ideas on potential summer jobs:
  1. Turn your spring cleaning into summer cash. Consider teaming up with some neighbors to have a garage sale or think about using online sale forums to sell your lightly used goods and furniture.
  1. Start up your own lawn maintenance services or join up with an existing one.  Working for the city by mowing park lawns is a very popular summertime gig.  You can also start up your own service by working for neighbors, friends, and family and having them spread the word for you.
  2. If you are a college student out for the summer, or are a school teacher, check out becoming a summer tutor.  Being a summer tutor can look great on a resume and is also a great way to stay sharp during summer break!
  3. Many people take vacations in the summertime, so offer to house sit for your neighbor or family friend.  House sitting could include simple tasks such as getting the mail, watering plants, pet sitting, and/or periodically checking on the house.
  4. Check your community and surrounding areas for summer specific jobs like amusement parks, golf courses, ball parks, or lawn and home care department stores.
