When I was 16 I got to help run the virtual reality ride. Was a good gig for a 16 year old. It was also the first year they introduced the toonie and I easily made an extra 200 bucks just picking up change the ride would fling out of peoples pockets.
Firsy day on the job though, the first thing my boss says to me is 'this is a 3 million dollar machine. Each of the seats costs over 100 grand. Don't break it.' Hah!
They were actually pretty cool guys though. The main investor/boss was in his young thirties and he was a partier. Shame I was only 16 cause they mentioned they'd love it if I could join them. Last day when I helped them with takedown there was literally a pile of cash in the tens of thousands just sitting on the stage when I got there. They had wrapped up the week by doing some Stampeding of there own and I guess it got a little wild.
Anywho, I would suggest working with alcohol if you can. The tips are generally beyond ridiculous, and who knows who you might meet.
I would just find out if you have to get your ProServe certification first, and get on that. I think when it first came out you could actually work for a few weeks while you got it done, but I think it's a strict prerequisite now.
Have fun !
