Many young people are confused about which careers to follow. The summer jobs is an ideal way to get to know yourself. It will result in a much needed confidence and an exposure to different kinds of work. While many students waste their holidays doing nothing, or follow a useless activity or a computer course, others use the time to take up jobs and are able to earn some money. The trend always existed in developed nations, where young people become independent at an early age, but it is slowly but surely catching up in India as well.
Students abroad can earn enough to buy a second-hand car or a ticket to travel around the world.
In India, salaries for summer jobs are not as great, but the job should be looked at more for experience than for money. Perhaps, one can earn enough to buy a music system that one always dreamed of. Since summer jobs are short-term assignments, basic qualifications are not important. Companies are willing to hire those who have finished school as well as college and university students. The only requirement is that the individual fits into the requirements of the job.
