The temperatures are rising throughout the country, indicating that summer is just around the corner. If you’re a teen looking for a summer job, here are some opportunities.
Tutor
Tutoring jobs could be the perfect summer job to turn your knowledge into cash. Although teaching children is easier said than done, it’s manageable for most one-on-one instructors. The more experience you have in one area, the more you can charge.
Average Pay: $22 per hour
Movie Theater Employee
Many theaters will hire teens to make sure they are adequately staffed for summer blockbuster releases. Typically, a movie theater attendant scans tickets and sells snacks. The most difficult part of the job is likely cleaning up after a showing. But it could all be worth it when you get to watch free movies after work.
Average Pay: $15 per hour
Summer Intern
A summer internship can help you open the door to future career opportunities. Pay can vary substantially based on your field and level of education. Some internships are even unpaid. That said, the greatest compensation can be gaining experience in the industry you hope to work in after college. Plus, being a summer intern provides many networking opportunities.
Average Pay: $15 per hour AGU
Camp Counselor
Summertime means that numerous camps open up for young children. Although this can be a demanding option, it can also be very rewarding. You’ll have the chance to impact every child that passes through your camp group. Many camps even offer accommodations and food to counselors hired to work during a summer program.

The easiest way for you to find ways for your child to make money is to think about others’ inconveniences (不方便). Think of things you need done, or would like to have done, and what you would consider paying for these things to get done. Once you have some ideas, you can sit down with your child and talk to them about what they would be interested in doing. Then once you have an idea of what they want to do you can help them come up with fair prices.
Preferably you would want to only have your child working with people you know and trust, or in the least bit you could have your child pick a partner. That way with each of them carrying cell phones, even those without service can call 911, they will be much safer.

【推荐2】Frequently Asked Questions about Our Products
What is a Waterbike?
Waterbike is a kind of bicycle to pedal on water. We offer two common models of water bikes: Bikeboat Rec and Bikeboat Up. Both models are available for immediate delivery.
What is the difference between Bikeboat Rec and Bikeboat Up?
The position of Bikeboat Rec offers greater comfort to the back. Its seat offers greater comfort by keeping your back fully supported. It makes Bikeboat Rec much more suitable for pedaling over long distances. Besides, due to the user being in a lower position, it is less influenced by winds. But there are people who have a preference for Bikeboat Up because it is similar to a conventional bike. In terms of speed and performance, both are equivalent and use the same propulsion system (推进系统).
What is the maximum speed?
You can get up to 2 times the speed of a Stand Up paddle. The maximum speed of new models is about 15km/h, depending on your condition. You can keep a pace of 6 km/h to 9 km/h without much effort.
Can I go reverse?
Yes, both Bikeboat Rec and Bikeboat Up models can go reverse (倒车). You just need to pedal backwards.
Can I use it on sea water?
The components of the bikeboat were designed for the marine environment, so they can be used in saltwater. The mechanical components are made of stainless steel (不锈钢). For models since 2017 we are using a resistant anodizing finish in black: no peel off, tougher than any type of paint. With basic care, your bikeboat will last several years.
Is there a bikeboat model for two people?
Yes, we have Bikeboat Tandem, a double waterbike where two people can ride and have fun with maximum performance. The image is shown at the bottom of this page.
