Hey /biz/, what are the best paying summer jobs that are generally overlooked? I'm looking for something that doesn't necessarily require a high degree of specialization. I'm a university student, but I haven't graduated yet.

> Not getting a summer internship at Goldman or Facebook...
Seriously. Do an internship. Did mine at Twitter in summer of 2012. Worked on analytics for the 2012 Presidential cycle.

I'm guessing those are wildly selective. I live in a medium sized metro area and finding an internship is proving to be very difficult

Have you considered kneepad manufacturer intern? You get a great commission in protein.

Actually mine was orchestrated through my school's Career Services office.
But even medium-sized cities will have offices of big-name firms. Alternatively, consider studying abroad for the summer or relocating to NYC, Chicago, or Palo Alto for a few months. Many of the big banks, for example, have rotational programs where you work for a few weeks each on a few different desks.
And fuck selectivity. Make them say no to you. You will get absolutely fuck all if you pre-select against yourself.

Any areas that I should look into that don't require specialization? I'm a humanities major, but my resume is pretty good. I'm looking for things such as project management or different types of analysis that don't require a specific degree
I worked at a local restaurant / bar, good way to meet a lot of people in your school and also drove as a delivery driver fro chinese food. both payed around 15 cash / hr and are easy as shit if you're not autistic
Driving, delivering whatever

can i get a internship at Fakku?

If you don't go the with an internship.
Manufacturing can pay pretty well, especially weekends, night shifts, etc.
Or if you have access work in the hospitality industry where a lot of rich people stay. Big big tips
wrangler at mental hospital is what I'm gonna go for unless I find something better

I think it depends a lot on what you want to do after you graduate. Teach? PhD? Try to find something in line with your career objectives and do something in that sector.
I think you'll find that whatever you do, with some very specific exceptions, there is Very little in common with what you do as an undergrad and the skills you'll leverage daily in your career.
