Answer 1

Answer 2

You have your whole life ahead of you to work, and one day you won't be so eager to be working.

Enjoy your childhood. But here is the answer I provided another child for things to do to make a little money during summer vacation.

Mowing Lawns, Raking Leaves, Cleaning house (vacuuming, dusting, fine cleaning) Making beaded friendship bracelets and keychains to sell, lemonade stand w/ cookies or other baked goods. Sell candy you buy at a wholesale store or Costco or Sams club in bulk. Car wash. Dog walking. Babysitting. If you have farms nearby you can pick berries, veggies etc,. for money. Some newpapers have delivery for kids under age. Dont limit yourself to one idea, you'll have more fun doing a variety of these things and you'll see which things bring the most profit vs effort/ work involved. Plan yourself a calendar, which things you'll do on which days, talk to neighbors and find out what their needs are and add them into the calendar. If you do a good job, stick to your commitments by reliably showing up for jobs you take on, you can use these people as references for future jobs and employment later when you come of age. Make sure you get there names and contact info and ask them if they would be okay with being a reference.

Answer 3

So lawns are out. What about washing/detailing neighbors cars/trucks? Maybe set up a regular detailing time with customers every couple of weeks (if they can afford Gardner's). Walking dogs (get regulars to walk every day do 4-6 at a time) or even have a "Dog Wash" Either way you will need to put up flyer's and knock on a lot of doors. Dress for success not for our friends! Be professional. Every answer is No until you ask.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

I don't think a 12 year old child shoud be making decision about his life or future.

Answer 5

Go around and pick up bottles. Unless your somewhere that doesn't have a bottle return.
