My serious answer. I never had a summer job that sucked.
I spent 5 years working at Six Flags Over Texas and it was one of the funnest jobs I ever had.
I was in the games dept. Started when I was 16 and ended up in the repair dept. We built and repaired the games you play to win stuffed animals etc.
I was then moved to the "Arcade Shop." I was the assistant foreman and my duties directly were managing the crew that was responsible for the care and maintenance of all the remote control boat and car sites in the park. We had 3. People dropped a quarter in a slot and then they were able to drive cars and boats through miniature villages etc.
The great thing about the place was the fact that there were 1,000's working there and you met hot chicks hanging out during the summer.
There was a party just about every night at someone's house , even when theree wasn't there was always a group of 50-100 hanging out drinking beer behind the games wharehouse.
I actually considered getting a degree in business and sticking around and maybe pursuing a career in management there. The money was good. The General Manager of the games dept was making at that time '82 around $75-$100K a year plus bonuses and the guy was like 28. We didn't have internet porn to make money off of ;)
