I worked for a landscape company and paid my way through college. I didn't have a car or photo equipment and I'm always suprised by how many "poor" people can't see why they're poor or even what the word poor means. I'd love to pull some of these kids away from the security of their familes and drop them into a 3rd world country for a month.
The time to get a summer job is in early spring before you finish school. One week after I finished school I was back landscaping working 12 hours a day almost 7 days a week. Other than my living expenses, everything I made went directly into a bank account for school. I ended up with money to invest after I graduated.
