I worked for the Village of Glen Ellyn as summer help for Public Works. Best job
I ever had. Drove around in a truck all summer turning b-boxes and water valves. No supervision or real expectations. When people didn't pay their water bill we showed up to turn off their water. Usually it was just people on vacation and one time we got assigned the neighbor of Billy Williams, who just happened to be out in his front lawn. Talked to him for 20 minutes and got his autograph. Best summer of my life. Also that was the last time the minimum wage was raised so got a $2/hr bump the second year.  Previous Message
A lifeguard in Maui seems enticing, but every time I saved someone, I’d have to rinse off and reapply sunscreen
Perhaps a park ranger in Denali park. I bet they give you a sat phone. Maybe a .300 Win Mag for bears
