the right spot for me

I am just out of college by a year, and I want to work at Cedar Point this summer. I'm a substitute teacher now. My teaching area is Ecology. I've worked in gyms and campus rec centers before, too. And I've bartended, lol.

I'm trying to get an idea of some jobs that would fit me. Something like...

Employee Trainer
Dorm Staff
Recreation Center
Gardening/Botany
Nature Education
Bartending wouldn't be bad again either...

Looking for ideas about these. I can work April 15th to August 15th then I start a new full time teaching job in the fall.

Thanks!

work a ride, they're the most fun and none of the jobs are going to put anything you learned in college to use.

sweet...

If you need the money go for bartending or serving. The hours suck bad when i was there most of the out of park dining people work way late like 2 or 3 am but you make more money than lots of depts. 9 am is early for them to work @ fridays.

Sorry ride's do have much more fun

I do want to have fun. But I'm doing it for the money this year... thx for the suggestion about bartending and I think that will be my first request.

Hey, are licenses required in Ohio, or do we take care of that during training? I have a valid Indiana bartending one.

Landscaping is a 5-day work week and anything over 40 hours is paid overtime. There is a lot of variety, working all over the peninsula. You'll be somewhere different every day. You'll get to see and do things that most seasonal employees don't have the opportunity to do.

If there's a downside, it's that it's not the typical job, so you may not have the traditional "experience" you hear about from seasonal employees. The Maintenance Department is largely made up of locals, so it can be a bit isolated. Plus it can be pretty hard work.

If you start in rides, you wont be contracted until likely may, and end when you need to. I am not sure how Landscaping does their contracts.

Rides is fun, but if you need to make good money, go for bartending.

Unless it's changed recently, Landscaping runs from mid-March to as late as early November. You don't have to start in March, though.

Assuming you are 21 the bartending job wouldn't be a bad gig. Late hours but there is money to be made in certain locations. I would point you away from the dorm supervisor position.

Wahoo is right. Working housing SUCKS. I started in foods as a kitchen supervisor but in the middle of summer I got hurt at work and the CP Drs. told them i needed a desk job or i could not work for the rest of summer. The foods office was very full so i got sent to housing. I would rather do most any job insted of housing sup. It was the most boring job i ever had unless i had a night at cedars. I worked as a day off person and i was mostly in gold a bit at cedars, not fun.

It made it wierd for me because you are expected to rat people out when you are not working. They change your hours on an almost daily basis. You have to deal with drunk people. You have a ton of paperwork when something happens. The only perk was i got moved to a MUCH better apt in bayside. They try not to have housing sups live with other people, but the down side was they did not like your friends comming to the apt with other housing sups(or maybe it was who i was living with).

Thanks. Yeah, sounds like housing is not for me. It sounds pretty isolating. And about as bad or worse than being an RA at college.
