As a teacher: I don't get summers off.

As a waitress: Carrying food or drinks to the table is the least significant part of the job.

Both of those jobs are also significantly more difficult than most people realize.

You don't? I dated the teacher across the street and she partied all summer. Yes, they stop later and start sooner than when the kids do.

As a junior teacher, I taught summer school. The more senior teachers were doing continuing education. We all made lesson plans, prepared materials, and had mandatory professional development seminars.

Yeah the myth that teachers don’t work in the summer needs to die. My mom was a teacher and she worked just as much if not more during the summer, for the reasons you stated.
