The Pitch – What are your summer plans?

May 26, 2009 – 10:13 am – No Comment

What do your summer plans include?

Question:

Well, summer is upon us. Yesterday was Memorial Day, the unofficial kick off of Summer 2009. Considering gas prices are on the rise and we’re still facing some pretty heavy duty unemployment numbers, what do your summer plans include?

Answer:

Personally, my summer plans include finishing up school then working to find a job. At this point, any job may be just fine for me.

Gas prices are on the rise, so going away for a week or so may be out of the question for some (and I am even thinking twice about a trip to Florida at the end of the summer).

I think this may be another one of those “staycation” years. Like last year when gas was $4 a gallon, many families opted to stay home rather than go far away to vacation. That may happen again this year.
