STL area summer work?

[RedWylder]

Anyone have any idea what type of summer work might be available to this amateur-wanting-to-get-exposed-to-the-world-of-photography-more gal? Im headed home to the STL/Southern IL area for the summer (from AK) and Im wanting to get a fun-ish summer job. I don't have a clue where to begin. Do photo people ever hire summer workers?
