Best summer job I ever had was making picnic tables at a zoo -- amazing to have parrots and monkeys in the trees over our heads. It was outdoors too, which is the right place to be in the summer.
Looking back after many years, I'd suggest that you focus on jobs that seem to be fun. Pretty much any job will benefit you one way or another anyway, especially by helping you figure out what you really do and don't like. So don't automatically say no to jobs that seem off the wall or "just not you."
Have you seen that book called What Color Is My Parachute? It has ideas to help you choose between indoor and outdoor jobs, whether you prefer working with people or with things -- stuff like that. Check it out at the library.

Answer: You should stay away from CashCreate, Treasure Trooper and other survey Web sites.
It is a waste of time and will cause you unhappiness.
If you choose to be suckered in and sign up to take surveys and receive, free trials considered you were warned. The minute you give them your credit card and personal information you have now opened your computer to unwanted cookies on your hard drive, annoying pop-up windows and if you are on a PC you open your computer to viruses that can wipe you out.
A lot of work to collect the "reward payments" that payout is not worth the effort over time. You will need to sign up for many types of offers, most of which require you to use a credit card. You start a week trial service with varies types of businesses or services, such as, an Internet service provider, book club, credit monitoring service, etc. to get your reward. If you don't cancel the trial, you end up being charged for the service and each service has different rules about how and when you can cancel. Very cumbersome!
Since you will need to sign up for at least a dozen offers before you get to $100 in rewards, it's very easy to forget what you have signed up for, or the problems you will have canceling in time to to be charged the full amount. The Cash Create recruiters you see here over exaggerate how much money you can earn because once you've done the high-dollar trials ($8-10 each), you are left with small rewards of a dollar or two. The survey business is not an efficient way to make money and you are more than likely to loose money in the end.

I worked in a grocery store for five years during high school and college. It was ok work and the pay was good, since it was union scale. Customer service, accounting, and inventory control were skills which were used in various positions.
