If I were you, I wouldn’t pay too much attention on how much money you will or won’t make just for the summer. Look at the big picture. The more knowledge you learn and retain will help you get the job you want. And when I say get the job you want… I’m not talking about the highest paying job. I’m talking about the job with good benefits, good people, friendly atmosphere, less stress… a job that is enjoyable and not just “a job”. If that’s what you are going to be doing for the rest of your life… how much money you make this summer means very little. And yes… there is nothing wrong with having time to enjoy yourself. Time spent with friends and loved ones? Can’t put a price on that.

And the construction? There’s a better chance of you getting injured with construction. Not just from you having an accident, but from someone else doing something stupid when you are close by. I’ve seen it happen a lot. Injured people don’t make much money.

And if you work less hours, you can open up a lemonade stand. I did that when I was a kid and would make about a buck and a half in a few hours, and mom paid for all the supplies. Of course, back then, I think we charged a nickel for a glass of lemonade, I bet you could get 50 cents now.
