No more apron and griddle grease. Granted, I was sold on the idea of being a tennis instructor, when in reality I was last on the instructor roster and taught about five lessons all summer. And I had to clean the pool filters. But I was outside, making more money, and I got free horseback riding. Luckily, there's more to life in a resort town than your job.

They're why you came, and you learn to make them count. Most area companies treat local workers to free stuff, including whitewater rafting and bike rentals.
