<p>My S is a freshman going to school 400 miles from home. Would like to have a summer job when he comes home from school for the summer, but is finding it difficult to apply while such a long distance away.</p>
<p>By the time he comes home for the summer in mid-June, it will probably be too late to get a job for the summer. He's just looking for a minimum wage job anywhere.</p>
<p>Ideas/Experience on handling this? Hopefully next year it will be easier if he decides to stay in the region where he is going to school, rather than coming home for breaks and summers.</p>
<p>I figured many of you had been through this and would some great ideas on what has worked for your kids.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
