Summary: What sort of summer job did you have this year? The WTIP Youth Radio Project took to the halls of Cook County High School in Grand Marais, Minnesota, to figure out what sort of jobs students had this summer, and why they chose them.
This is a very short audio piece that asks people about what summer jobs they had and why they chose those jobs. Some did it because they wanted to gain skills and earn money for college while some did it so that they could buy a car. Since it is short, the piece could not go deeper into the reasons why people wanted to get a job to gain skills and more. This piece’s music is quite upbeat and the story is to the point. However, I think it would be great if the producer(s) could interview a more diverse group of people. Something that the producer can do to improve the piece is to make the outro music a bit longer since it ended a bit too sudden.
