First, check your local library for books on this subject.  Next, check Amazon and eBay for ditto.\n\nIn particular, there's one book which I think is pretty good - I believe it's called The FabJob Guide to being a personal shopper.\n\nYou've got a fair amount of research ahead of you!\n\nBut the hardest part will be getting clients.  I obviously don't know what field you're currently in or what contacts you may have, but you'll need to do some marketing of yourself to get your name out there.

The first thing you need to create is a budget.\n\nWrite down the diferent  categories of spending starting form the essentials to the non essentials, like this\n\nRent/housing $\nUtilities Electricity\nUtilities Water\nPhone/Cellular\n\nFood/groceries\nCleaning supplies\n\nCar payment\nCar insurance\nCar gas\n\nOther living essentials\n\nThen go to the non essentials like;\nCable\neating out\nmovies\nmagazines\netc.\n\nWrite down what you spend for 2 months, then you will know where the money is going. From here decide how much you want to put into each category, like;\n\nSavings $20.00 per week\nClothing $20.00 per week\nAuto repair $10 per week\nand so on, add your own categories as needed then put money into that account and when you have enough for what you want to purchase go and get it. \n\nThis way you will have teken care of the priority payments and then know how much you can afford to play with.\n\nGood luck

You'll need to get the license from the local municipality in which you want to open your shop.  You'll be required to pay a license fee, and you'll also need to collect sales tax on any parts that you sell, and remit that tax to the state.\n\nYou'll also need a federal tax id number and you'll need a state tax id number.

try a store like Target or Mervyn's but don't apply for too many cuz that'll reflect on your record. these stores usually have lower standards and limits because they are internally financed as far as I understand.

go to the small local bookstores, and talk to the owner...let them know you are very interested and if one of their new hires does not work out to call you.  Most of the big chains are full...but you might luck out in one of the small stores....\nin the bay area find one of the really out of the way places...not a tourist area...and look there.  Most teens look at the malls during the holidays for part time employment...couldn't hurt.\nGood luck!

A number of people in your situation have started their own stores on e-bay. There are a number of books on how to get started. The e-bay site can give you a lot of information.

Start  as a part-time bank teller, then platform personal banker.  The basic training in finance, relationship building, and marketing will prove invaluable later.  Also, you may get exposure to a career path that aligns with your objectives. \nBe sure to work hard, maintain a good attitude, and remember that there are no menial jobs.  Good luck.

You could save up all your money in the bank and invest in savings bonds. You could also start your own business. Some of the easier things are doing web templates. You could also join www.cafepress.com (design clothes + merchandise) and become a shopkeeper there. It's kinda hard at the beginning, but you have to make better designs and advertise more to get better sales.\n\nGetting a job is prolly the best solution.

Depending on the store you can register on line or in store by fallowing simple prompts at a kiosk in store or on your PC and then you go into the store and you usually need to get a store associate and they check out a scanner to you and you go around the store and scan the bar codes of the items you want. When you are finished you turn the scanner into the store associate and they upload the information. After that it will be stored by the event, and name of those involved. Most stores offer on line availability to the lists and people who are interested can download the list and take it to the nearest store... However some stores allow you to purchase from these lists on line which I personally like. When the item is purchased it then shows that it has been purchased on the list so that no one else that pulls up the list buys you the same thing. They are really nice for weddings so that you don't end up with 25 toasters. It really is an easy process. I helped people do this all the time when I worked retail.

With no high school diploma yet, and no real job experience, that  will be very hard to accomplish.\nTry one of the Supermarkets, as in Von's just off, Magnolia. Sorry for the life of me, can't recall the cross street.\nBut they often hire teens, and it could be a good start for you. Check some of those stores, in one of those shopping areas. They might hire you too. Just keep going around and asking and filling it applications, something might turn up.

well first you have to have a business licence, and a store set up, then you have to have a line of credit, create accounts with vendors, and then you can order from each vendor what you need for the store.  Most vendors only sell in bulk.

Most of the mystery shopping companies that hire outside schedulers like to "hire from within." They want people who are experienced mystery shoppers. They want people they know are reliable and will do a good job for them.\n\nThe best route to becoming a scheduler is to approach some of the companies for which you now shop, especially if they use outside or contract schedulers. If you have good relationships with some schedulers, email them and ask if they know of any openings.\n\nIf you are not currently a mystery shopper, start. Although some companies may hire schedulers who have not shopped, most like to hire schedulers who understand the business. \n\nAlthough a lot of shoppers want to be schedulers, be aware that the work is hard. You are responsible for getting 100% of your block of shops assigned and completed every month. That means when someone flakes on a shop at the last minute you will be on the phone to everyone in that area to find someone who will do it. If there is a shop to schedule in a remote area, you will have to find someone willing to go there and do the shop. \n\nIt takes a special person to be a scheduler. \n\nCathy Stucker\nAuthor of "The Mystery Shopper's Manual"\nhttp://www.MysteryShoppersManual.com/
