Hi to all! I've worked as lifeguard at schlitterbahn from may to september 2014. hat i can say, it was a least fun, a lot of new international friends.

Cons

but this job is awful, you work for 10-12 hours per day, killing yourself at the sun, they are paying you minimal wage and treat you like nobody.
