These are the reasons why working in the summers is always the move.
1. Experience
It doesn't really matter where you are working. Any experience in the work field is a good experience. Whether you are working in retail, an internship, or a frozen yogurt shop you will gain helpful skills that will be good for future careers. You don't have to have an internship at Google to succeed after college.
2. Money
You will get money to help get you through your second year of college, which is a major plus. The key is not to spend it all during the summer and put it right into your bank account. Even if you are spending your money on clothes and food, try to sell some of your clothing items online, to gain a little extra cash.
3. Boredom
If you are not going on an extravagant vacation to the Hamptons or Bali, chances are you are just at home. This way you can keep yourself busy with a job and not be hounded by your parents. You can keep yourself from becoming a couch potato and spend all your time at your new job.
4. New Friends
Chances are, at your job there are other college students who are just looking for a summer job to keep them occupied. You spend basically all day together, so you could become close pretty quick.
