Summer Job

　　The summer job is a tradition among students of American universities. Long before the end of the school year,students begin their search for jobs during vacation .

暑期工作

　　暑期工作是美国大学学生的传统。早在学年结束前，学生们就开始在假期里找工作。

　　学生们寄信给一些公司，跟老板询问暑期工作的机会，并邀请朋友和亲戚来寻找就业机会。到六月，学生们通常

　　解决了问题，开始准备离开书本进入商界。

　　暑期工作的原因不同于学生对学生的原因。有些工作是为了帮助他们支付学费，有些则是为了在自己选择的职业中获得经验，还有一些只是为了好玩。

　　打字员、建筑工人、推销员、救生员和服务员，这些都是学生们在暑假期间想找的更普通的工作。但是许多年轻人觉得工作更不寻常。
