3 job choices for summer job, which one?

Hey guys im starting to have to apply for my first summer job. So far I applied for this really popular/busy movie theater here, and im going to a couple of golf courses tomorrow to apply. im also considering the zoo since i would rather be outside doing stuff than inside maybe... Which job do you guys think would be the best? If i worked at a golf course, i would be working in the "cart barn" which is where they basically clean the golf carts out and recharge them and all that crap for the next person, and you drive them back out to the place where the golfers come and get them. im guessing i would also be doing some other random stuff. at the movie theater i would basically just be working the ticket booth. so, which one do you think?

Free rounds of golf would rule dude (assuming you get that benefit)

well as of right now ive only played a full game of golf once. i want to start up and i was thinking if i wanted to start playing golf seriously or just as a hobby, being able to play or use the driving range for free or very cheap would be good.

definately golf in my opinion,having to sell tickets to people all day every day would be incredibly boring.cant beat my summer job though,im getting paid 90 quid a day to sit outside junior cert/gcse exam halls and whenever someone needs to go to the bathrooms i have to escort them and make sure they aint doing no cheating.so i basically get paid to sit and read or play poker with the other exam-assistant guys all day!tis great!

Dont work at the movies, the hours will suck, youll lose a lot of your summer nights because you have to sell popcorn, etc. Idk what the zoo job entails, that might be fun, and if you wanna be outside than thats a good choice. I think your best is with the golf however, as of now.

i agree with tingly, try looking around a little longer

Golf, you can meet rich folks that'll hire you for a better job, and it's easy work.

Golf, it sounds like you'll be doing some easy things that keep you busy, out of the way, and help move the time faster. Then again, if any pay more then the other, none of em sound too bad to take a pay drop.

I would do the golf thing...working at a golf course is really chill. Where do you live? What kind of golf course is it?
