There are lots of people who want to work for a vet. Have your mother ask your vet if he would hire a 16 year old, I suspect not. You might volunteer at an animal shelter to get experience

you're making a big mistake, you're still in school so enjoy your summertime, once you get a full time job there will be no more summers!  Trust me, prep for college when you're in school, ENJOY YOUR YOUTH!  When you're in school, clubs the the NHS do volunteering during the school year, get active in clubs like NHS and FBLA and if you're a christian be in FCA.  If you HAVE to do something over the summer though, why not stop by your local fire department and learn some CPR classes and stuff.  It's fun and free!\n\nBut my first choice would still just be to relax...

At 16, I'd recomment a local grocery store.  They are great for first time jobs.  Usually you'll get flexible hours and have people working there the same age as you.

It really depends on what you want to get into.  I agree with the previous poster that sales jobs will give you best income for your time spent.  At 17 you should think of a job that will give you experience towards your long term career goals.  If you see yourself wanting to waitress at a high class joint down the road, now would be a good time to get started with a low end sit down resturant like Denny's or International House of Pancakes.  If you have any computer savvy and are organized you can get a job as a personal/administrative assistant for a small business... that's great experience regardless of what industry you may want to get into down the road.  If you love people, try something like working at the YMCA... you can make a lot of contacts working a place that everyone uses.  Good luck!

Well since you are 14, and have to go to school, I would say you need a part-time job after school, like maybe working in a florist, or grocery store, or a gas station, or a pet store...\nYou need things that fit into your school schedule and yet allow for your age so they don't expect an experienced person to apply...

Go to your neighbors houses and ask if they would like their lawns cut. Most people would jump at the chance of not having to do this. Try doing a paper route they hire people younger then you for this. Talk to people you know that have pets and see if they would like someone to walk there dog. You can even make fliers to hang in laundry mats or at store boards to advertise lawn mowing and dog walking. These are things you do not need a under age work permit to do.

While you should get a job that pays good for the lifestyle you want you should keep in mind that you should find a profession that you would enjoy as well. :)

Child labor laws made is illegal to employ people under 15 or 16.  You best chance at getting some extra money is working doing chores for neighbors, family, and friends.  Walking dogs, baby sitting, yard work, house-sitting, etc.  You won't find a job that will cut you a paycheck because it is illegal. Since it is the Fall season, you might grab a rake, and go knocking on doors asking if they'd like you to rake up their leaves.  at $10 bucks or so per yard, you could come up with some decent money.  Good luck with the search!

In many states, you cannot be formally employed before the age of 15 or 16. Check your state guidelines. If you can't, you can always do:\na paper route\nmow lawns for others\nshovel snow in winter\noffer a dog walking service \nbabysitting\nhousecleaning

I hear ya!  I almost decided on becoming a vet, but the extra time in school and its expense (and a similar problems with sciences) turned me in another direction.  While that's not tthe answer to your question, you may want to post it in the pets area, where the vets and animal techies hang out at ---> http://answers.yahoo.com/dir/;_ylt=AkLpoQhwUXk97ihDYVLXCnzpy6IX?link=list&sid=396545443\n\nAs you study those sciences, maybe have posters or pics of cute puppies and happy dogs to help keep your nose in those books!  Get stuck... just look up.\n\nThe pic up there is Yogi, and I have to clean his ears 3-4 times a week.  Nasty smelly job, but he looks so happy when I'm done!\n\nBest of luck!

Why not make a flyer saying Baby Sitting/Pet Sitting/tutoring  Services available and post it in different places like shopping centers, if your neighborhood has a community newsletter put an ad in there...The flyers that you put up have the tags at the bottom with your name and phone number that people can rip off would be good and this way you can see the amount of interest people have.  What about a local animal shelter?  They might hire you.  If not, put lots of flyers out everywhere!  Put them in mailboxes of people you know that have kids and or animals.  Get your folks to spread your interest also.  Word of mouth is always good.  And make sure on the flyer you say references available upon request.  And have them available.  Good luck and keep us posted on your quest!

Commerce is not a bad career line. You should pursue in your own field. If, however, you have aspiration in animal care, you can do a lot in this field. Many universities offer variety of courses without considering previous qualifications, specially, in certificate courses.

i would say get a job..money isn't the only reason it would be good for you because it will get you out and doing stuff and making money while your at it. as far as your friends go they probably don't want you to be lazy and want you to do well. it's up to you though.

I am a certified equine sports massage therapist.  I make $65/hr.  You won't find jobs for this, you work for yourself.  It is slow to get the business going, and you must live where there are a lot of horses.\n\nI am about to have my certification in canine massage as well.\n\nIf you want to do pet therapy, go for it.\n\nCheck out www.equissage.com for more info about becoming certified as an equine/canine sports massage therapist.

This sounds like a good opportunity for your sister to see how vets operate. \n\nAnother idea would be to volunteer at the vet's.  She could help clean cages and look after the animals.  This gives her an idea of the day-to-day operations of a veterinarian clinic. \n\nIf she comments about the surgeries and is worried or turned off by them, maybe she could cut back and help at the clinic without having to observe surgeries. If she is still interested later on, and the vet agrees, maybe she can go back an observe.

Check with your school's guidance counselor. He/she can tell you if you're old enough for a work permit, provide you with the work permit application, and possibly may have information on part-time jobs available in your area.\n\nIf you're not old enough for the work permit, try:\n• babysitting\n• yard maintenance (mowing, weeding, tree-pruning)\n• dog walking\n• washing cars\n\nIf you have any elderly neighbors, talk to them. They always have odd jobs around the house or errands that they can't manage by themselves and would be grateful for your help. Don't charge them too much though. They usually have limited incomes.
