Agree with retail, BUT what do you like doing? My brother has his own retail store selling clothes, shoes, accesories etc.... He's a lot into fashion and is really good at putting together outfits and things like that so it just depends on what you like to do....(he makes good money)

Mostly it will be "create it yourself" kind of work.  Actual employment for anyone under 14 in the US is unlikely. The restrictions for employees 14-16 cause many potential employers to choose not to employ young people. \n\nSo put on your "thinking cap" and look around you community to find tasks that need to be done, that you  think people might pay you to do. Make them an offer a job for a price.  Be very business-like and professional, in your appearance, and your conduct, all the time, not just when you are asking them to hire you.  You would be amazed at what impressions you make while you are just going about your every day business.  Ask people that you have worked for succesfully to give you written references. Ask them if others may call them to ask about the work you did.  Offer good references to potential employers to show them that your performed the jobs you were hired to do and gave your customers always more than you agreed to.  Always remember to perform beyond the call of duty.  It is far better to surprise a customer with more and better work, than to EVER dissapoint one. \n\nCreate your own business. Maybe do this with a friend, and share the jobs. If you get two calls to babysit on a Saturday, instead of having to turn one down, you can each take one, and build up your customer loyalty at the same time. If customers know that when they call you for a job, that even if you cannot take that job, that you can provide someone else to take the job, they will keep your number at the top of their list for future needs. \n\nHave some inexpensive business cards printed with your contact information and very little else. You may change the services you offer, so it is best not to get too specific on the cards because they will likely last a long time.  Develop a file of references, both letters from former customers, and people who have agreed to be contacted to verify your work quality.\n\nBe sure to keep records of who pays who for what.  If you buy supplies for your business, keep reciepts.  Ask your parents for help in this record keeping. If you borrow money to get started, be sure to pay it back.\n\nBest wishes!  You can begin your life as an entrepreneur now.

Avoid pyramid schemes......\n\nIt's hot? Sell cold, ice cream. drinks? It's Muslim? Soft drinks in places where it's hard to get a drink. Cater to tourists. A digital camera and a photo printer close by - could be the basis of a good business. Use the Natural resources around you to best advantage. Cover the desert in solar panels????

Babyboomers will be the market focus for banking, investing, retirement type business, health care, etc.  However, young kids spend more money than ever before (due to the affluence of their parents) and they are going to be tapped for phone services, clothes, video games, music, and ieverything ;-) etc.

I would check the classifieds, especially if there is a college with a paper of their own nearby.  Also, Monster.com and Fastweb.com are very helpful for finding jobs for youth.  Other places to look are retail stores and restaurants (before 18 you can only be a greeter at the front).  I'm not sure of jobs specific to your area, but these are pretty good places to check...good luck!

What type of business?

You should be able to start a business regardless of age. It is a breach of your human rights to try to stop you. Employment is only a form of slavery - and time it was abolished for all. But your parents may get taxed on the money you earn in some countries. In the UK, they would tax the air we breathe if they could.

A good job would be working in a library. You could also work as a dogwalker, babysiter, lawn care, helping someone in the family at a home business, sell on ebay, or work in a clothing store. You could sell something you are good at, such as making jewelry or baking. You could sell brownies or cakes. You could sell crafts. You can sell things on consignment. There are so many things that you can do, there are alot of things you can do that it doesn't mater what your age is. Good Luck, Dear

When I was a kid I used to make money by providing services that other people didn't want to do themselves.  I would mow lawns, rake leaves, shovel snow, etc.  Although it isn't the best money in the world it's a pretty good way to start saving up at an early age.  I believe this is one of the few ways kids can make some good money these days.  It's not really safe to go door to door selling things like you could years back.

There are a lot of opportunities for preteens to get work.\n\nWhat do you like to do? Base your choice on that.\n\nYou can wash cars. How about cleaning your neighbors homes? You could water and mow the lawns and feed the pets when people are gone on vacation.\n\nDo you like bikes? Make a sign to put in your neighborhood that you can clean or repair bikes. \n\nAre you creative? Make note cards and sell them to your neighbors.\n\nThink about what you enjoy and find out what you can do that fits well with what you like.

Talent Agencies in your yellow pages. Do check them out who and what (clients) they have represented so far, also there will be talent agencies that specialize in kids - that will be your best bet because they will know how to handle things.\n\nAlthough getting an infant into this business (I am in the ad industry) might not be a good idea..

Here are some suggestions:\n-Grocery Store Bagger/ Caryout\n-Fast Food (McDonalds, Wendys etc.)\n-Independently owned businesses (Mom & Pop stores will usually hire young people as cashiers, stockers etc., )\n-Newspaper Carrier\n-Restaurant (Dishwasher etc.)\n\nALSO try the carts at a mall, those little specialty shops in the main hall, those are owned by ordinary schmoes, who usually need some help.\n\nSTART WITH ONE OF THESE JOBS, and when you become 16 and 18, you have work experience at a job, and you could start out as a secretary or something else. If  secretary is not your career path, your computer skills wont get you far as a teenager. I am 14 myself and have taken computer classes at HS, but an office wont hire at 14, so I got a job today at wendys, therefore I will have my feet wet in the world of work.

Many other retail stores.  Note that there are a variety of laws on employing youths so some business may be unwilling to consider you at first - so research the relevant laws and be persistent.
