Featuring Karen Dukess, John Gredler, Anna Paret, David Masello. Summer jobs nudge us into adulthood with a taste of what it’s like to have to set an alarm each night and show up at an appointed time and place each day.

For today’s show we offer differing perspectives on summer jobs, and the life lessons they provide.
