School is almost out, and summer is coming closer.  That means students around Casper will be getting three months to just hangout, lounge around, and if you are a teen, get a summer job.  For those teens looking for some extra spending cash this summer, we have a list of some of the best summer jobs in Casper.

I know.  Working is not how most teens want to spend their summer.  A summer job is necessary for many teens, whose parents don't want to keep handing them money.  I remember when I was a teen working in the summer.  It was sweet having guaranteed cash to spend on whatever I wanted.  The teen years is when many learn the value of a dollar and working to earn that dollar.  Of course some jobs are better than others, but most teen jobs are low stress, and have flexible hours so you still have time to enjoy your summer away from school.  Here are a few of the best summer jobs for teens to get you started on the road to payday.

    Retail

    I worked retail for years.  It is a perfect job for teens.  The Eastridge Mall is a prime spot for teen employment.  Clothing stores such as Zumiez, Deb, Aeropostle and Rue 21 sell clothes for young people, so who better to sell them than the teens wearing them.  There are also plenty of grocery stores such as Albertsons, Safeway, and Smith's to get into the food side of retail.  There are typically openings for baggers, cashiers, and shelf stockers.  Retail jobs tend to have very flexible hours so you can still enjoy your summer!
