Yes try your own business. This could be a great start for you. Ask your parents what they think.

babysit lawnmoers? \n\nSeriously, either get a job on the net, or your stuck with Baby sitting, Dog Walking, Pooper Scooper, etc.

Do a working holiday, then you need less money. Why don't you get a part time job. Try labouring for a builder...it can be good money.

Unfortunately there are very few jobs that pay well for someone your age. As a freshman, I assume you are 15 years old which is too young for most jobs. The only way you will find anything above minimum wage is if you know someone or have a connection that can get you a better job. Once you've embraced that you probably won't be making a whole lot, I recommend that you look for jobs that are fun. What are you interested in? Jobs at baseball stadiums are great for sports fans. Maybe a camp counselor would be fun for you? There are several summer camps for special kids. Look into some of these. Movie theaters may also hire you and will give you discounts on movies. Have fun and good luck.

You can help out your neighbors.  And maybe make a few bucks at the same time.  Mow the lawn, pull weeds, walk someone's dog, clean up the dog poop in back yard, babysit, wash cars....  The last two years I wish I could find a teenager to help me out when I needed it.  And I would've gladly paid for the help.  \n\nMake some sort of flyer to pass out to the neighbors to "advertise".

When I was a teenager, I babysat almost every weekend.  The best way to get clients is to advertise, first of all.  Then of course word of mouth works great too!  Also, a good tip is to take the American Red Cross course in CPR & babysitting.  Usually it's only like $50 - $75 & you'll get that back in no time.  I used to babysit families w/ 5 kids & I was only 15!!!

That's bull that you need a job. You THINK you need a job. You are 13, relax, don't work until you absolutely need to, which is usually at least 16 if not 18 or even older.

Work in a museum or theme park.\n\nGet a job in a Car wash\n\nOffer to walk neighbours dogs for money.\n\nGet a job on a summer scheme for kids - all local councils usually operate them and they're good fun.\n\nCharity collector - getting people to sign up to donate.\n\nMost of these jobs should get you outside to enjoy the summer weather.

Have you checked the classified ads in your local newspaper? Don't just look for jobs there. Check to see if there are any employment agencies. Look in the yellow pages of your phone book as well. Call these places when you find them and see if they offer help like working up a resume for you. Go to these places and see if they have a Job Board posted with any available jobs. Make sure you are as clean and neatly dressed as possible when you approach anyone about a job. The better you look the more apt they will be to help you. Talk to the people at these places and ask if they have a program that hires young people with no work experience through government subsidies. Perhaps you know someone who would hire you if they could afford to. If there is a program they qualify for with money to pay part of your wages they could hire you! It's a long shot I know. If you are still in school, talk to a counsellor and see if there are any student jobs you might qualify for through a program that the school is running in their business classes or something. If you attend church, talk to your minister. Talk to a trusted adult friend. Put an ad in the paper yourself asking for work! Go, go, go! You can do this! If you can bring yourself to walk into a business and ask to talk to the manager, tell him/her you are looking for work and ask if they have anything available. They can only say no (not kill you), and they might say yes! Keep on going and keep trying until you land something. Good luck to you!

You could put flyers on windsheilds for big businesses. You can bag groceries, right? You could sell your junk. You could sell stuff on EBay with a parent's help. Like baseball cards and stuff. You can ask your neighbors if they have chores for you. You could ask for an allowance. You can have a paper route. You can babysit.  I think they let kids be janitors at elementary schools, but i could be dead wrong. Also, if you like the outdoors, check with the forest service. If you like sports, go to a stadium and ask for a job. Good luck! Way to be industrious!

you should talk to your parents about this and suggest that maybe they have friends that you know that might like you to babysit occasionally. its a good way to get started and a little extra pocket money.

If your in school, I'd suggest car washes, or allowances, or a job. A summer job could get you some quick money working $5 an hour just lawn mowing or something. Do something old school and simple. Just don't do a lemonade stand. It's a waste of time.

Get out of the house over the summer. Get a part time job at an ice cream shop or restaurant so you can meet more people. Sure it can be hard sometimes, but you'll have money to go out and have fun.

oh honey! The very fact that you stop to think about the welfare of your kids and worry about leaving them with a babysitter shows you're not a bad Mum.\n\nIf you need the money then you have to work...sods law!\nAlthough there are plenty of work from home schemes these days. Make sure you double check them though - some will scam you as soon as look at you!\n\nMaybe try and find a careers advisor that can put you in touch with some work form home jobs/companies.\n\nMaybe Grandma could be persuaded to babysit once a week or so instead of 'Ashley'...?

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!

Just go around to different places where you want to work and ask if they're hiring.  Even if they don't have a job available right then you can leave your resume with them and they might call you when they need someone.\n\nAlso, you can check the newspaper and ask around with your friends' parents and so forth.\n\nFinally, some ambitious teenagers create their own jobs.  Perhaps there's a service you know how to perform that your neighborhood needs.
