How can a 12 year old get a good job that pays?

Question

walking dogs and giving them baths dont work and my parents wouldn't pay me for doing chores

Answer 1

paper route or lemonade stand or any stand of that matter or babysitting.

Answer 2

you'll have to keep with walking dogs and giving them baths or babysitting. maybe mow lawns or something. each state is different but for most you can't get a work permit until 15 or 16 to get an actual job.

Answer 3

keep doin wat ur doin. u have to be 15 to to eligible for a work permit. raise ur mowing price.

Answer 4

Babysitting you can get like 6$ an hour which is good!

Answer 5

Your parents DO pay you for doing chores.

Before you argue with me let me ask you some questions;

1. Do they charge you to eat?

2. Do you pay for your own clothes.

3. Do you pay for your own school supplies?

4. Do you pay your own share of the rent/house payment and utilities?

5. Do you pay for going out with your friends and entertainment such as going to the movies?

6. Do you pay your own phone bill?

So, granted, you probably get a LOT of free stuff from them. So why shouldn't you help out with chores when you live in the house too. I mean, if you empty the dishwasher, did you use any of the dishes? If you vacuumed, did you wlak on the floor? if you do laundry, are your clothes being washed?

More than likely, you are REALLY getting paid well for what you do.I mean, you probably get $100s each month and maybe work say 4 hours a week. Even if you only got $100 at 4hours a week that's $8 an hour. Suck it up.

Answer 6

Answer 8

When I was 12 I made about $100 a weekend because I was into horseback riding and my parents wouldn't give me any money. Try approaching your neighbors and see if they have any odd jobs: raking leaves, mowing lawns, cleaning out their garage, washing their car,whatever. They will tell you what they need. If you show them that you are a hard worker and are reliable, they will find some way to hire you. If you do a good job, they will be calling you all the time! Think of yourself as an entrepreneur and have confidence you can do it!
