While winter is the time to live off of student loan leftovers, summer is the time to enjoy a short educational break while attempting to refill empty pockets with hard earned cash. According to Euripides, a Greek playwright, travel is education in itself. So if the opportunity presents itself, why not get a job that allows you to reveal your inner explorer while maximizing (最佳化) the money-generating summer months.

Many amazing summer jobs exist in the tourism industry – an industry which is currently booming (迅速增长) in Canada – so why not explore another province while putting away some cash by working at a summer resort (度假胜地)? Resorts have plenty of jobs, from bar and restaurant staff to activity planners and housekeepers. On top of making some great tips, resort jobs can land you some amazing friends, and set up future job possibilities for summers to come. Check out Young Canada Works at www.pch.gc.ca/ycw-jct for information on other job opportunities.

If you’re hoping to spend the summer months in the great outdoors, then tree planting, summer camps, or working at a national park are good places to start. Parks Canada offers full-time secondary school students access to student jobs across Canada. Jobs normally run from May to September and give students the opportunity to learn about the parks and gain valuable work experience. Use the following link to visit the Parks Canada summer job website: www.pc.gc.ca/agen/empl/sub/jct-ycw/index_e.asp.

For those desperate (极度渴望的) for an experience overseas, the Student Work Abroad Program (SWAP) helps students set up working holidays. The welcome packet includes information on how to set up a work visa and tips and tricks on how to land a job in a foreign land. Visit www.swap.ca for details. Those wanting to make a difference in the world may want to look at Volunteer Abroad, at www.volunteerabroad.ca.

There are many summer opportunities so don’t wait for one to land in your lap, be pro-active (先发制人的) and get hunting!

5 Tips for Students Living Away From Home

Don’t Skip Orientation Week

Be involved! It’s the most effective way to make friends during the first couple weeks of being away from home. I am a fairly quiet person, and I came to university without knowing anyone. It was a little hard at first, but as long as you participate and keep your spirits up, you should make new friends in no time.

Resist the Urge to Go Home

I would suggest not making a habit of going home every weekend so you won’t miss out on things that happen during the weekend at school. Try to avoid going home the weekend after O-Week ends, or for all of September if possible. The first month will be the biggest adjustment and it’s just easier to settle in, hang out with people and explore the city on weekends.

Stay Connected

I message and text my sister often and Facebook my friends to keep connected. Making new friends and diving into activities and homework is a great way to keep yourself occupied, but in those moments when you are feeling incredibly lonely and wondering what your mom is making for dinner, you need something
