l'orhaps tlw only place to truly experience a professional atmosphere is in a rnal ofl'iee setting, as an intern or doing secretarial work. Not only do these jobs look good on resumes, they also provide predictable hours and good pay. "The pay was two times as good at my internship than at the pool," said Potter. Notre Dame junior Carin Pankros, who has worked for a financial planning (:ompany for three summers, agrned. "The pay is much better in an office. Plus, you havo set hours and most of your nights and weekends are free." Despite the predictable hours and good pay, working in an office does have certain drawbacks. Getting a day off, for instance, can sometimes pose a chal­ lnnge and working in an office means sitting inside all day. "It's never really summer in an office," said Potter. "It's dnfinitnly more fun at other jobs," said Pankros. "In the office, I don't rnally work with people my age. But I like doing something that has a tangible result. I like creating something or putting something together."

Hmmm ...

If you still haven't found the perfect place to punch the timeclock, don't worry. There's still time left to find the ideal job. And if these options all seem boring, there are still countless other ways to make some fast cash. Try baby-sitting, working construction, landscaping or brewing coffee at the local coffee house. The list goes on and on and with a little creativity and ambition, the perfect summer job might not be out of reach. Just remember, running around barefoot without a care in the world may \ sound more appealing, but a summer job doesn't have to cause the sum­ u mertime blues. g a Q - 4W r page 12 The Observer • SPORTS • NHl Suspended Sakic to miss first game of wild West showdown
