Answer 1

What the person said above is the best option,

I don't know where you live but yard work in the summer and shovelling in the winter is a great way to make some extra cash.

Answer 2

I have a two part answer for you. First, decide to work where you can learn a great deal from someone else there (a superior). That was your skills will increase and you will be able to EARN extra money wherever you go, regardless of the starting wage. From there, look for the same thing in the next job you have, especiallly in the same industry, so you can get promotions quickly and with them the increases in pay. Even if you go into another industry later, they will pay you more and think more highly of you if you do as I have described. I would highly suggest a department store in one of the clothing sections where you can be paid commissions in addition to your hourly wage, then do all you can to maximize those commissions and be of honest , good service to everyone. All that being said, I would also suggest talking to a bunch of good quality contractors and see if they need good dependable help. This is probably your best short term bet on earning a good wage. Also, if you pay attention and apply yourself, you could learn a profitable trade that would let you go into business for yourself at a very early age. Best of luck.

Just because you are under 21 does not mean that you cannot serve alcohol. Granted you may have to be 18 but you can serve alcohol under the age of 21 in a dining establishment, but you cannot pour alcohol. Look into the laws in your area, you may have more options then you think.
