I have some doubts you will want to switch schools after one or two years.
You should probably just commit to one now.

I think trying to find jobs on the internet is good for summer. Well, I'm a freelancer so for me it's good all the time  What I like about it for summer though is that if you have a lap top you can take the computer out by the pool. I love being outside in the summer

I worked at a summer camp the past summer, although it doesn't usually pay that much. I had a blast, I absolutly loved it! This year I am going to need to earn more money for school and I am thinking of applying for a government funded daycamp position. The pay is decent and it will still be alot of fun. I could even take on a part time job for the evenings since the camps will run during school hours.

Try to get involved in the trades somewhere...even if you don't pursue it as a career, it can offer good skills for when you buy your own house plus they offer a decent wage

I would try to get a job as a server. Even if it's at a restaurant that's like one step up from fast food - you can make great money in tips and once you get some experience serving, other restaurants will want to hire you!

If you have no work experience, I'd recommend trying to get a "student" job. These are usually available to anyone under 30 who has been a full time student in the last calendar year. The pay is pretty ok as the wages are often subsidized by government grant projects etc. Pretty much all of the best summer jobs I've had have been through student employment programs.

server at a restaurant can be pretty degrading as customers treat you badly. Barista is much better, involves less walking, less chance of accidents (with food/plates/stuff) and is a smaller, more personable environment.

The best summertime job is to be a lifeguard. At the kiddy pool or at the beach, you make awesome money.

I agree with some of the above comments: go for something in fast food or food preparation. Restaurants usually have the ability to schedule you with the hours you need and want, so they can usually benefit you while also benefiting the store

If you are 19, you might want to consider working in some bank. It not only looks good on your resume but it would help you with your studies too like loans.

Unless you want crazies harassing you for coffee. People can't wait, they need their caffeine right away and are willing to make you near tears for it.

I second the summer camp idea- I worked as a day camp counsellor for the city and it was the funnest summer job I've had. And let me tell you, I've been around the summer job block a few times (medical secretary, sales associate, arcade attendant, bank intern, daycare worker). If you have no work experience, but great extracurriculars from school, that can be enough to get you in. The pay is crap (for the most part), but this is the only job where I've gone to work many days and forgotten I was 'working'. Just make sure you're well rested and have tons of energy every day!
Also consider looking into your local YMCA or job search office. I know that in Newmarket there is a "YMCA Summer Job Service"- a free program that offers assistance to finding a summer job, via a $2 supplement to your pay, staff to help review your resume, and a computer centre to print, copy and fax for free! That is actually how I got the summer camp job, mentioned above.

for a summer job, try working at a summer camp (daycamp maybe?) in your area. its really rewarding working with kids, but it depends on your preferences because camp isn't the best-paying job out there.
