Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson has hired nearly 500 college students from abroad, most of whom don't have to return to school until late September or October, public relations manager Kristin Kocher said. In addition, the park will be bringing back many of its 50-and-older employees for Labor Day and beyond.
"We're lucky because many of our older employees like to work the 'shoulder' seasons -- early spring and fall," Kocher explained. "And because our international students don't have a Labor Day school deadline like students here, they're able to work in the park, which goes to weekends-only operations after Labor Day."
Being able to work into the fall is a plus, said 23-year-old Peter Szanto of Slovakia.
"It means I'll be able to bring home more money," he said with a grin. "But then, when I go back, I have to go to school. That's not as good."
