With the first day of classes just weeks away, we’re asking: How did Chicago teens spend their summer vacation? Turns out, some got to work, gaining new skills and experiences in preparation for the start of school.

Reset hears from teens about how hard it was to land a job, where they ended up, and what lessons they’re taking away from the summer season.
