Since you don't unlock full-time careers until your character turns 18, having a part-time position lets you save up some extra money to pay for college or university if you go that route.

The lifeguard position, in particular, helps complete the Hot Wet Summer challenge. In this challenge, you need to create a Brazilian character who becomes a lifeguard, water slide tester, and a famous adult film star throughout their life. While the other two jobs are regular full-time positions you can find with some luck, the lifeguard option is easy to miss if you've never pursued it as a part-time job in other playthroughs. Aside from this, it isn't the highest-paying job out there, so you won't be able to rely on it too much as a long-term career. However, this can be a fun and rewarding option if you want to challenge yourself to survive on a relatively low income or work hard to receive raises regularly.
