Now is the time to look for a summer job. Sometimes college students or single teachers that have the summer off get opportunities all accross the state and sometime even in other states. It is hard to know where all the jobs are. Recently Brownwood News received an email regarding jobs that were available in the metroplex area, in Coppell. Some of these may be interesting to our readers. With the job market so slim, it is important to get the word out. Hope that helps some of the teachers, college students or young jobseekers make the summer more interesting and profitable.

Here’s what was listed:
