Where have all the sumer jobs gone?

Still searching for that summer job and wishing I had stuck with the one I had since high school. Instead of keeping the same job every year I always wanted to change because of not enough hours, too many hours, catty coworkers or the feeling of my mundane existence creeping up to remind me that people have fun jobs and I should try to get one next summer. So thats exactly what I have been trying to do and so far I have failed miserably at it. But, with every attempt I make, I come to a closer realization of what next year will bring--the real job search. This will be my last real summer considering I am graduating next year. Hopefully I will find my dream job to escort me gracefully out of my college days and into what my father, and many other American fifty-somethings, refer to as the "real world" (something I strongly loathe and believe does not exist thanks to confirmation from that John Mayer song). Like I said in my previous post, 20 is the weirdest age. Should I really have stuck with one of my past summer jobs since 15? Am I wrong for seeking a new adventure every summer, seeking higher pay and excitement instead of sticking with one since I was 15 that could be up to a staggering $11 dollars an hour right now? Time will tell.
