Summer jobs for college students - from sweating in the sun to sweating in a tie

Posted by Fred Steiner on April 6, 2011 - 7:11am

By Kirstie Runion, Bluffton University Icon Intern
From sweating in the sun to sweating in a tie during a business meeting, college students find themselves with whatever summer jobs they can get. In this economy, they have never been harder to find.

This summer I will be starting my new job, an internship with F&W Media in Cincinnati. I have worked at a restaurant for six years so this will be a change of pace. My advice to anyone looking for a summer job is to give it all you have-it's only for a couple months!

You are looking at a photograph of a confirmation class from St. John's United Church of Christ (E&R) from the 1950s. (Or, we should ask, is this a combined confirmation class from St. John's and Emmanuel?) Rev. Opperman is the pastor and several familiar residents are members of the class. We'll defer to Icon viewers for those specific identifications, which should arrive soon.

The last name roll call on this photo includes Jordan, Zimmerly, Core, Michel, Badertscher, Tschantz, Criblez, Neuenschwander and, who did we miss?
