Summers are indeed fun, not only for the young ones but for young-at-hearts too! Not only the season gives plenty of reasons to go out and have some fun but also opportunities to earn some bucks while doing so. The part I love most is the perks that come with it! Who doesn’t want freebies anyway?

Below are some of the awesome jobs seniors can take during the summer. Remember, summers are meant to get you moving so go out and have some fun!

* Seasonal hirings. Amusement parks, trail camps, and even national parks are hiring seasonal workers every year and they are more partial to hiring seniors since seniors are wiser and dependable.
* Tour guide. Expect tourists to flock your area during summer. There’s no place on earth left unnoticed during summer, I tell you, even if you are living in some far, unknown land, tourists are bound to find you and they will be looking for someone to take them around so be the best tour guide that can ever be.
* Stadium personnel. Think free access to games (okay, maybe not major ones), free uniforms and discounted merchandise, best of all, getting paid to do it! The rate may not be as high as the players themselves but the perks are cool enough to compensate for it.
* Amusement park crew. There are a lot of jobs waiting in an amusement park, you could be a ride technician or perhaps a storyteller–absolutely fun never-ending. Just be forewarned as this job is usually for the younger ones so it will take a lot of your energy.
* Local community parks. The most convenient job for an old bird like you! If you’re one of those people who were born and would die on the exact same place then you have sackful of local stories to tell and share to younger generations who are most likely to visit your community parks.
* Pet sitter. Feel like Doctor Doolittle? Then you can be around your favorite companions and earn a little extra while doing so by applying as pet sitter. Local zoos accept part time and seasonal pet sitters to accommodate summer rush. Not really a “people-person”? Check around your neighborhood for families who are planning to spend summer away from home but have a pet or two needing a pet sitter.
* Summer tutor. Parents are always looking for something to keep their kids occupied and at the same time do something productive out of their time. This is the perfect time to offer tutorial services to them. Some of the popular ones are piano lessons, baking lessons and even academic lessons if the kid needed some catching up.
