Yes, you can get a job just for the summer. Some businesses like pools, summer camps, amusement parks, and landscaping companies are only fully staffed during the summer. As a result, they plan on hiring employees for only a few months at a time.

In addition, while you can work at retail stores and restaurants all year round, they're usually used to hiring temporary workers, making these great options for summer jobs as well. Delivery and shipping companies are also often happy to hire temporary workers.

If you don't want to work for a company but want to make some cash, you can usually find work babysitting or nannying, tutoring, walking dogs, or even weeding flower beds and mowing lawns. Many people travel during the summer, so you might know someone looking for a house sitter.

These jobs won't necessarily provide a consistent income, but you will be able to earn some cash while working flexible hours.
