 <\/p>\n

Watersports instructor\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n

Average salary: \u00a333,777<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a job that screams summer vibes, consider becoming a watersports instructor. It offers a decent salary and very often, you might get to live in a beach resort for free. Imagine waking up to the sound of crashing waves.<\/span><\/p>\n

On top of running lessons on how to surf, kayak, windsurf or paddleboard, you\u2019ll get involved in planning the class schedule, organising social events and briefings, and assisting with guests\u2019 schedules on and off the water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need to obtain qualifications for your chosen watersports. One good option is the watersport instructor training courses from the Royal Yachting Association. A first aid certificate is also mandatory. On top of certifications, personality matters. Employers are looking for friendly, outgoing, energetic instructors. Be sure to smile a lot during your interviews!<\/span><\/p>\n

Summer school teacher<\/a><\/h3>\n

Average salary: \u00a333,563<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re already a certified teacher, this could be a great opportunity to make some extra money during your summer break. Don\u2019t be fooled by the summer haze or the smaller class sizes. Teaching summer school can be stressful because you need to cram several months\u2019 worth of content into a few weeks. That said, it\u2019s also a nice opportunity if you want to test out a new teaching method or classroom exercises.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Surf coach\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n

Average salary: \u00a330,735<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re a surfer, why not consider sharing the thrill of riding the waves with others? As a surf coach, you get to meet people from all walks of life. You’ll interact with enthusiastic beginners, seasonal surfers who need a refresher, and adventurous people just looking to try something new. It’s a fantastic way to make new friends.<\/span><\/p>\n

To become a teacher, look at the International Surf Association certification. It\u2019s the most widely accepted surf instructor qualification, and ISA Level 1 is the minimum requirement and industry standard to work as a surf coach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After completing the course, you\u2019ll still need to gain 20 hours of surf coach shadowing experience. You will be assessed by your proficiency in paddling, duck diving or turtle rolling, wave negotiation, getting back to shore safely and under control, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lighthouse keeper<\/a><\/h3>\n

Average salary: \u00a329,329<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a more low-key summer job, consider becoming a lighthouse keeper. Your main tasks could include tending and caring for a lighthouse and making sure the light and fog signals are in perfect working condition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This job may not be for everyone as lighthouse keepers generally need to live close to the lighthouse, which usually means in remote or even desolate areas. If you’re someone who enjoys solitude and doesn’t mind spending their days without any human interaction, this could be a great opportunity to earn some extra cash.<\/span><\/p>\n
