I'm a 14 years old and I want a summer job to give me something to do and to earn some money. How do I start?

Question

Bearing in mind, this would be my first job.

Answer 1

baby sit, dog sit, offer to walk dogs, garage sale, mow lawns, sell lemonade, clean houses,clean garages,pull weeds,ebay, a dishwasher at a restaurant(some do hire), paper route,wash inside and clean outside of cars, some fast food places hire, make crafts and sell them house to house.

There are many opportunities, just find something you like to do and go from there. Im 14 and I started trying to make money a few months ago. I like to excercise, so I decided to mow lawns for neighbors(its not neccessarily something that I liKe to do though) But I do like to sell things, and I often do garage sales, and usually have a lemonade stand as well. Just find something you like and work hard at it, if you work hard you will do well BTW i just made my first thousand, and I now have around 1,400 dollars. Good Luck!

Answer 2

I would have your parents ask people at her job, or ask around your neighborhood if anyone needs their lawn maintained. Nothing to detailed. Let them know that you are looking to make some money for the summer. I am sure they will be willing to cooperate.

Answer 3

one word BABYSITTING!!! I babysit all year round and luckily the people in my neighborhood are very generous and pay $10 an hour so even if im on there for three hours thats $30 that go in my wallet! but make sure they dont pay you like $5 an hour ask for like $8 maybe

Answer 4

Well...

You could babysit if you like kids.

Help older people with yardwork or grocery shopping for extra cash.

depending on where you live, you could do detassling or deroguing...any kind of farm work.  they tend to pay well.  My first job besides babysitting was detassling.  

You could see if a local sports team needs a coach or referees or anythhing like that.  Also, see what kinds of programs the park district has going on & if they need any helpers.

Have a bake sale, a garage sale...anything like that.

Or...sell stuff on ebay.

You could watch peoples' pets while they're on vacation. Good time for that--SUMMER!

good luck :)
