When browsing on craigslist I found a job opening for a gas grill island cook at a nearby resort.  I didn’t really know what the job entailed but I had heard through the grapevine that you get tipped pretty well.  So I applied and, with my full time availability, got the job almost immediately.  It felt great being out there, serving all the customers with burgers, kebabs, hot potatoes, whatever I could think to throw on the grill really!  The place is pretty fancy so the out door kitchens were really thought out and made it super easy to navigate. 

A giant outdoor sink was located right next to my grill so cleanup took no time at all.  It’s amazing how many people opt for outdoor living in the heat of Arizona’s summer but I’m sure glad they did because the tips made my life a lot easier!   I ended up making enough money that summer to last me through the whole next school semester and I even had some savings left over so I could go on a Spring Break trip with my friends.  My advice to any struggling college student, if you’re friendly and like people, working at a resort such as this could be the best summer job you’ll ever have.
