When did the conversation take place?

W: It’s almost vacation time. Have you found a summer job yet?
M: I suppose I can work at the boy’s camp where I worked last summer. But camp jobs don’t pay much.
W: I think I can get a job at the Edgewater Hotel. A friend of mine was a waiter there last sum mer. The pay wasn’t good, but he got lots of tips.
M: My sister worked there last summer, making beds and cleaning bathrooms. She didn’t like it, but she earned quite a lot of money.
W: A friend of my sister’s did that one summer.
M: What I want is a job outside. After sitting in college classes all winter, I’d like a job in the open air.
W: The high school kids earn a lot of money every summer cutting grass. My brother is only
fourteen, but he gets five dollars every time he cuts somebody’ s grass, and it only takes him an hour. He just rides around on the machine that he bought, and the machine does all the work.
M: That’s pretty good. I used to cut grass when I was in high school. But now I thought I might work for a road-building company, or something like that.
W. It would be good experience. You could earn a lot, too.
