Just wondering about what kind of summer jobs you guys have had, were they good or bad? And anybody ever work at SixFlags? I'm really interested in hearing about your experiance there.
What kind of SUMMER JOBS have you had?

Worked as full-time Help Desk person + "on-site" tech support, etc at a University library.
Thank goodness I will never get those jobs.

i worked as a computer tech for 5 years, then went on to do contracting work through temp ageniceies and then i started getting internships the summer of my freshman year in college and kept doing them year round until i graduated college
i worked at two grocery stores last summer... got hired at one, and it was so horrible i took a job at a closer grocery store and quit that one. not really a summer job because i was at the second store until december
If the "satisfaction" I see on the faces of the people who work at Great Adventure in NJ is any indication, it's probably not the most rewarding job. I knew one girl who worked there and she pretty much hated it.
The only summer job I held, I was a machine operator at a printing press.
Did you ever go to the supermarket and get a cash register receipt with coupons printed on the back? There's a pretty good chance that it was made by that company.
Basically they are printed on a web press with 5 or 6 different tapes on across huge rolls of paper about 3 ft in diameter.
I operated the machine that cut and rolled the tapes onto the individual rolls that go in the registers.
Honestly, it was one of the best jobs I ever had. Working a machine is great. You don't have to dress nice, you have some good rock blasting on the radio which has to be up loud enough to be heard over the roar of the presses.
You just get into the rhythm and start singing along at the top of your lungs and before you know it it's 5:30 and time to go.
I was pretty cut by the end of the summer from sweating all day long and constantly lifting shafts of tapes....they only weighed about 10 lbs, but doing that all day every day gives you some good tone.
And overtime rules.

I worked at a telemarketing place. We didnt have to make any outgoing calls, people called us. My mom thinks that place was currupt...
I work for Gold Bank as a part-time contractor throughout the year. During the summer, I continue my normal duties. Also, during the summer, when one of the full-time couriers are taking days off, I'll drive the route for them. One of the courier's just received a brand new car.... A Subaru WRX 5sp Sedan.. 
I worked at Hogi Yogi / Teriyaki Stix for min. wage when I was 14 (never getting a fast food job again). I worked for a scrapbooking company (filling orders, packaging) when I was 15 for $6.50 in a warehouse w/out air conditioning. I am going to work p/t .. somewhere this summer while working on my A+ certification and then I hope to get a slightly better job. Has anyone ever work at Totally Awesome Computers? I heard I can get a good paying job there building systems with my A+ cert ($20/hr is what I heard, but that is hard to believe, though I'm sure they make enough profit on their overpriced parts / systems to pay that much).

Don't count on jobs like that in today's marketplace. Everyone wants a Dell, or so I'm told.
Right now I'm working at a supermarket (2 weeks). I mainly gather carts from much of the store -- the garage, parking lot, and front area. It is very physical work, pays very little, and so I would not reccommend it.
