Sophie, 25, works a resort pool bar in Scottsdale where the season technically never really ends, and the crowd in March through October is a steady rotation of bachelor parties, corporate retreats, and wealthy retirees who have absolutely nothing else to do with their afternoon. She made $88,000 in nine months last year — her first year on the job — which is already more than her older brother made at his "real" accounting job, a fact she mentions only when he brings up her career choices at family dinners. (He's stopped bringing it up.) She has no uniform to speak of — resort casual — and her entire commute is a three-minute drive in a used Jeep she paid off in six months. She's also already been offered a position at a second location in Sedona for peak fall season, and the math there is... we'll just say Sophie has stopped complaining about Arizona summers.
