With the school year ending and the economy slowly reopening, letâs reminisce about the illustrious history of summer jobs.

Qatar has introduced tougher measures to protect labourers from heat stress as the Gulf Arab state s human rights record comes under renewed focus ahead of hosting the 2022 soccer World Cup.
New regulations issued on Wednesday, the latest in a series of labour reforms, extended a ban on outdoor work during the peak heat season and made annual health checks mandatory.
The outdoor work ban was increased by one hour to run from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. from June 1 until mid-September, which also extends the previous duration by several weeks.
