For the first time in years, summer jobs are easier to find this year. That’s great news for young people in high school or college. So, why is it happening? Well, first of all, the job market is stronger. Secondly, although it doesn’t feel like it, the economy is stronger. And these jobs are paying higher than minimum wage. In addition, companies are offering more paid internships for young people in various years of school. Now the job may not be that interesting. But that doesn’t matter; getting your foot in the door is key. You can look around for jobs you want later. Statistics show that about 40 percent of people who worked as an intern at a company go to work for that company after graduation.
