I'm 16, and the summer is approaching and I need a job, BUT I do not want to work in food services/retail/etc. My last job experience was miserable and I don't wish to relive anything like it.Are there any different ways for an enterprising, smart, and skilled young girl to make MUNNY over the summer without applying a resume to a store/shop/business? I'm a ~creative and free spirit~ who hates being cooped up at a dismal place for hours a day. The minimum wage wouldn't even be worth that wasted time.I thought I would perhaps like to finally open my own ebay store, but that is just one option.Thanks for all of your help!

Lifeguard. Seriously it's the absolute best summer job EVER. It's worth taking the class.

Haha, you sound like me although I have no hands on experience in the field, I still have a huge loathing toward it. Anyhow unfortunately with your age and only wishing to work for a few months, you are limited. If you are skilled with computers you have programing as an option, there are also jobs available through online purposes that have you type certain things (invoices, file work and etc) for a company and send it to them in X amount of time; essentially giving you a lot of leeway to manage your own time. You'd have to look into that further but I hear it pays well; hell testing video games pays well. Computers are just that useful these days.If you happen to be a talented writer then attempt to write something over the summer; however this is definitely a long term process. Otherwise the only way to make a quick buck is retail/food service.Edit: Lifeguard, now there is something that never even entered my mind; not bad.
