I never had a job in high school, but the summer before college I started volunteering regularly (every other week) at my local art museum. Then, fall semester, I got a part-time job at a fast food chain. That didn’t last long (the hours were killer), but it was something! I’m still volunteering, though, and I was actually offered a paid position over this summer! I wasn’t able to accept because of my study abroad, but I definitely recommend volunteering.

You’ll be able to network, it gives you something on your resume, you’ll learn something, and you might even be able to get a scholarship or two out of it.
