<p>It really is amazing to read what some kids do with their summers. My kid was an athlete who traveled on his summer league teams and worked a hard-core blue collar labor job when he was home to earn some real money. Not as sexy or glamorous as some of these other options, but I believe he learned a lot along the way that has been infinitely valuable to his education, one of which is that he knows what an education is worth vs doing back-breaking labor for a living.</p>
<p>Hopefully, this summer he will snag a great internship or research opportunity… he’s working on it!!</p>
