• He thought the job duties were going to be fun, but he regrets it. He doesn't find it fun to clean toilets or tend to children.                                                                                                                                                               

•  The lifeguard training was harder than he expected and if he quits, he will have to pay the training fee.                                                                                                                                                                                                  

•     He has limited flexibility in his work schedule, and that means he cannot spend time with his family nor do what he wants.                   

•     2: What are some possible solutions?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Answer:                                                                                                                                                                       

•    J.T. can ask his manager if he can change his work schedule.

•   He can ask a coworker to switch shifts with him.           

•   To make the job more enjoyable/interesting he can find activities to do with the kids and coworkers.           

•   J.T. should consider staying in the job and start thinking about what he wants to do next summer.

•  3: Did he make the right decisions while looking for a summer job?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Answer:       

• J.T. followed after his friend interest instead of his. He should have chosen a job that he is interested in. His friend Alex had good intentions, but it did not align with J. T's interests.

• 4: What could he have done differently?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Answer:

• Research: J.T. could have researched the job responsibilities as well as the pros and cons of being a lifeguard.

• He could have researched online.

• He could have talked to the manager or another employee.

• Ask questions: During the interview or application process, he could have asked more detailed questions about what he would be doing as a lifeguard.

• Shadow or had a trial period: He could have shadowed a lifeguard to see what the job is really about before committing to go through training.

• Consider multiple options: He should not have settled for what his friend said. He should have researched for jobs based off of his interest.
