I applaud you for being so eager to work. Most kids just want money for free. If you love dogs, dont mind walking a couple of miles(or have a local dog park)and dont mind cleaning up after dogs then its great for you. i would only start off with a couple (like two)dogs first then work your way up to more. That way you dont get yourself overloaded. Dogs can be crazy in packs. only add one dog at a time to your walking lineup because they have to settle into an order nad if you try to add to many you may have a fight on your hands. As far as prices go check around with vets in your area and bording kennels for info on a normal price range. its different in every area and should be based on the dogs as well as the distance/time. Good Luck!

When I was 14 I had two jobs, both off the books.  I know newspapers will often hire 14 year olds to deliver papers and that is legal and on the books.

Babysitting, lawn-mowing, walking people's dogs'. Nothing much else you can do under 16.

Darn that canine discrimination. Perhaps if he purchases a bus pass they will have to allow him aboard. Or better yet, he should get a job DRIVING the bus. That'll show them

Ask any 12 year old.  They can tell you.

Try volunteering at a local animal shelter to walk dogs...that'd be fun!

Well, are we talking about girls or boys here?  Not to be sexist here, but twelve-year-old girls frequently enjoy baby-sitting or "mother's helper" work (i.e., watching a child while the mother is still in the house). My daughter certainly has, at least.\n\nGuys or girls may be willing to do yard work, or run errands for old folks, or help care for other peoples' pets.  \n\nIf the child has a particular interest or aptitude, look into finding an apprenticeship of some sort - but be sure to check about child labor laws and how they might apply.\n\nIf the child is both smart and patient, look into the possibility of tutoring a younger child.\n\nOf course, I'm assuming that by "job" you mean something that pays - if you just mean something to *do*, there are all sorts of volunteer possibilities, such as at your local library, that can teach useful job skills that could turn into employment later.

First, talk to your mom and let her know you want to help.  Sounds like you're a great kid and it will mean a lot knowing that you're willing to work hard and earn money to help out.  Here are some ideas:  Pet care - walking, washing, feeding, and playing with people's pets.  Car care - wash, wax, vacuum, clean windows, wash mats.  House and yard chores - washing windows, cleaning out gutters, pulling weeds, and washing driveways and sidewalks for your neighbors and friends.  Be creative - listen to what chores people complain about and offer to take care of it for them . . . for a fee :)  Good luck!

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!

if you are old enough, might i suggest a job.

for eleven years old you cannot work to earn, like raking leaves pet sitting or cleaning for it will be illegal for a minor to work, all i can suggest is that you can make or buy pretty things and re sale to your classmate or friends,  and that is trading business. you can start to find sale pencil, accessories, stationary etc. then add then sell to regular price. but make sure to know the taste of your friends.......\n\nGood luck!

Both hire teens, I'm certain.\n\nBut, a better job if you like animals might be a Veterinary Assistant.  You'll learn more and it has less to do with selling and more to do with animals.\n\nCall some local vets, or better yet, drop by and ask them if they're hiring.  Have letters of recommendation and/or references ready.  If you don't have any yet, ask your teachers, coaches, etc.  \n\nGood luck!

I think the first thing to do is to grow up, how old are you 12???

Get one and prove it to her. That may sound unlikely, but how are you going to prove that you're responsible if you just watch TV? Adopting a dog and proving your worth wouldn't work either. Get a job and prove to her that you can survive that you can do this job. Why wouldn't she want you to get a job anyways? It teaches responsibility, if anything.
