Long story short, I need to make a lot of money this summer. What's a creative seasonal job I could snag that gives me some sunlight, good hours, friendly coworkers, and some decent $$$?

(this rules out those oh-so-cliche positions like busboy and sales clerk -_-)

rent boy,

I'm seriously considering it myself.
Code:
if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

seriously though, the trouble is when you're highly skilled and intelligent, its difficult to find work. All i want its a crummy retail job, but no one will hire me cos I have better qualifications than the managers.

I outta burn down every shop that turns me down.

As for you, try Admin, America is the land of opportunity, you will have to forsake the sunny weather and fresh air if you want highly paid office work.

or you can slave your guts out for minimal pay in the sun.

Personally, I choose the 2nd.
Code:
if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){

You can make a MMORPG and sell it in your school.

..or you can visit you guidence department. Sometimes, employers give information about jobs when they are looking for young workers.

Make/sell artwork if you're good at that.

Sell stock photography to companies.

Make something for someone that can't do it themselves.

Become a member of parliament.

They all pay moderately well... :confused:

those bored schoolkids wont have such a dull summer once you start selling them heroin.

first you give them a free trial.

then you crank the price up a bit.

then you could even move into pimping if you want.

Obviously, that's the next level of expertise to aspire to.

Unfortunately, my first thought upon reading your requirements was a porn star. Sorry that I can't help.

Construction

Sunlight, good hours (mostly in day time), friendly workers (if you speak spanish :p ), and there is construction that pays very well.

Some kids at school thought they'd make some extra cash by selling pills.

You could do that.

Of course, jail time is a possibility.

Try tutoring English or see if the local newspaper will let you write an opinion piece. If they turn you down, go to the next lower level of journalism, like free newspapers, maybe a college newspaper, or an obscure magazine. Oh, call up the forest service or the park service and see if there's any volunteer work you can do. Volunteer a few times, make some accquaintences, then see if they'll hire you for outdoor summer work.

What, did he need a kidney transplant, but the doc forgot to take the bad one out?

Dunno, it's some kind of birth "defect". He's very tall. I guess that's because he's got a better metabolism or something.

Though I think he would be able to live with only one of them. So he could donate two.

You could be a cabana boy/towel boy at a posh hotel.
Or you could be a lifeguard at a posh hotel.
That is, if you live next to a posh hotel.

I heard you can also donate sperm. But I'm not sure how much they will pay.
