1. Restoration and service
The first classic of student jobs: service! In a bar or restaurant, noon or evening, as a barmaid or as a waiter, be sure that you can find LA place that suits you.

- i in Good to know: if no place is available as a server or barman, think of becoming a diver. Less fun but often well paid, this job will allow you to put money aside.
When you’re a waitress or bartender, you’re mainly part of a team that generally supports and helps each other. But above all, working in restoration will help you to develop your sociability and will make you, of course, very beautiful encounters.
Often well paid and accompanied by tips, the professions of service and restoration are the great classics of summer jobs, which will allow you to earn money during your holidays.
2. The animation: the heart of the redac
Animation is the second great classic of summer jobs to earn money during your holidays! And by far, our favorite.

Then, because you do not necessarily need to have a degree or experience to be able to apply. Certainly, be a BAFA holder or have already kept children will support your applications, but you can always find without.
Finally, and above all, because animation has no equal. You will learn to know children who will leave you memories for life, you will learn to become responsible, and you will meet other hosts with whom you will spend great evenings.
On the other hand, from a salary point of view, all jobs in the animation sector are not worthwhile.
- Vacation colony: you should be paid around 200 € per week (in being housed, fed and bleached), which remains very low. You can still enjoy a “travel”, depending on where the colony is. Above all, you will experience a real life experience;
- Leisure center: According to regions, cities and town halls, wages are varied, but generally remain rather high. In the Paris region, you can then earn up to €2,000 per month, while on the Atlantic coast, the average wage is € 1,300 per month;

Once again, here is a real “good plan” if you want to earn money during your holidays. Indeed, the guard of pets in the wind in the last years. Not able to go on vacation with their animals, and the larvae are often too expensive, the owners have found the solution: to use students to keep their valuables.

4. Plagiste
Working on the beach, feet in the sand and eyes in the water, is it tempting you? At first sight, the job of plagist seems to be done for you! But it is not to be misunderstood, with various missions and sometimes consequent schedules, the plagists do not have easy life.
In general, the plagists will be responsible for the same missions, which they work on the beaches of the French Riviera or the beaches of the French Riviera. New Aquitaine . Thus, you will need to put in place the decks, mattresses and parasols before the arrival of the holidaymakers and then remove them in the evening.
- ✓ Good to know: if no place is available as a plagist, think about becoming a beach vendor. « Chouchous, donuts, fresh drinks » will then become your favourite motto. The opportunity to make a maximum of meetings, and to do sport by working!
Depending on the location, the plagist may also take care of the well-being and requests of customers or the rental of the material (matlas, towels...). Finally, on some beaches, the plagists will have to spread sun cream on the back of customers.
This is why you need to be patient, smiling and sociable and that you will need to speak a foreign language most of the time. If this is not the ideal summer job, it is well paid. Indeed, you will need to add to your salary (about €1,200) tips, which can be very important (and sometimes higher than your initial salary).
5. Museum Monitor
Are you looking to avoid the particle, or on the other hand, the heavy rains of December? Here's the perfect job for you: museum supervisor. With flexible hours, simple missions and respectable working conditions, the job as a museum supervisor is a good trick.
You will be the custodian of one or more museum rooms, and will have to enforce the pre-established instructions. Sometimes you can follow a school group during their entire visit. Finally, you can also be called to the museum’s entrance to control the entrance tickets. Nothing bad, so...
On the other hand, you will have to stand as soon as a visitor points the tip of his nose, and be attentive to your environment. But as a bonus, you will have the opportunity to admire works that you would certainly not have known otherwise.
