Another “get away from home” summer option–all the western National Parks’ (Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier, Grand Canyon, all the Alaska NPs, etc) contractors hire hundreds of college students to work hotel, restaurants & concessions. Summer employees get free housing in shared dorm rooms, 2 back-to-back days off each week, 40 hour work weeks, and above minimum wages. There are students from all over the world working at the Parks, plus there are thousands of international visitors each year.
My neighbor’s daughter worked at Kanai Fjords last summer. D2 and several of her friends all worked at Yellowstone. Other friends worked at Yosemite.
