The hardest part is trying to find a job that matches your interests and qualifications. After an extensive search through indeed.com (the #1 job website), this is the compiled list of the most interesting, basic and cool jobs that require almost no qualifications.  

  1. Pool Monitor, Milhaus: Salary Varies (1 year experience)- This list does start off a little rough because this job does have a qualifier. If you’ve ever been a lifeguard or had to look after a pool, this qualifies you for this job. This position is laid-back and smooth sailing. This is for those individuals that like a chill summer environment and decent wages.
  2. Summer Feeding Program Coordinator, Neighborhood Services organization: $11hr- This is a summer job that is great for an individual that loves kids and is willing to help out low income neighborhoods. This job doesn’t appear to be laid-back but it’s an opportunity to serve the community while making a little bit of cash.
  3. Summer Production Assistant, Candid Color Systems Inc.: $8-$10.50- This may seem a little vague but the reviews from this job are superb. Thee salary seems a little low, but if you show up when you’re supposed to you are handsomely rewarded for your consistent performance/attendance. This looks like the perfect summer job for any college student.
  4. Summer Operations Intern, MHC Kentwort: $15hr- This is a job for all those go-getters out there. The pay is good and it looks fantastic on a resume. The reviews for this one are optimal, but it should be warned that you should bring an energetic outgoing personality with you. It’s preferred that you are in the process of obtaining a business degree but it’s not necessary.
  5. Summer Intern, Oklahoma Claims: $15-$19hr- It should be noted that this company is basically Progressive, it is well paying $15-$19 per hour and is a high-intensity job.

  6. Part-Time Seasonal Sortation Associate, Amazon: $10.50hr- It’s only fair to warn you that this is a warehouse job. As expected working in an Amazon warehouse is fast paced and only for the physically fit. You will have to be on your feet all day and be required to lift heavy objects. However, there are many breaks and additional benefits including insurance after the first month of work. The environment is fun but hard working and great for physically fit people.
