Answer 1

There are virtually no jobs out there for your age group because of child labor laws.

Some employers are even backing off hiring until 17, 18 nowadays so they'll have more shift options for working their employees.

If you are looking for money, try marketing yourself as a babysitter for your neighborhood. Either American Heart Association or Red Cross offers a first aid course for babysitters (can't remember which). Get certified, then advertise yourself in your neighborhood newsletter.

Mow lawns. This is what my brother did. Be professional and you could end up with enough repeat customers for several summers. You can also offer to rake in the fall, help lay mulch in spring and fall, shovel snow in the winter, and/or clean up in the spring.

If you aren't looking for money, but just want something to stay busy, you might want to contact local hospitals about serving as a teen volunteer. I know UK Hospital has them. They do things like deliver patient mail/flowers, run errands for staff, etc. Looks good on a college application. Also gets your foot in the door if you are thinking about a career in health care.
