On the flip side, the coolest part-time school job I know was held by a woman I know at work. She was a college student at SUNY Plattsburg. And she and many of her friends got temporary jobs at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, NY. Her job was to sell drinks at the ice arena. She said they served beer on hockey days and wine on figure skating days.

The coolest thing was that she was on duty selling beer during the “Miracle on Ice” when the US hockey team of college kids defeated the mighty Soviet team and went on to win the gold medal. She said part way through the second half when the US was leading everyone stopped selling (no one was buying anyway) and just watched the rest of the game.
