Best summer job my son ever had was a maintenance job with the school division. This was through a government program that paid a portion of his wage.

Today he is a Red Seal Lineman, and he has always been a good worker. As soon as they realized he was capable and had a work ethic, he became "The Assistant". Whoever needed help that day was assigned my boy. He loved the job, he would spend a couple of days with the plumber, then a couple with a carpenter and then a couple with a gas fitter or electrician.

He loved that he was doing something different almost every day. I loved that he was learning so much from actual journeymen every day and it's great to see a kid happy at the end of a hard day's work.
That's awesome, I hope my son has this type of experience.
