What are some good jobs for a 13 year old?

Question

I don't mind doing a lot of work.

And I don't mind not getting paid that much.

I'm just looking for a way to get money.

It's not like my mom doesn't give me money, it's just that I'm trying to save up to buy a Gibson Les Paul.

Yeah, I know, that's bit far out there. But if I start saving now, I'll be that much closer. =D

I CAN DREAM, CAN'T I?

But seriously, any job ideas?

Answer 3

Try some online jobs, where you don’t have to pay upfront money. Online data entry is an excellent career to consider if you want to work at home. The equipment needed for this type of job is very minimal. You only need a computer with an Internet connection, a table and a comfortable chair. Data entry duties include the inputting of correspondence, reports, and spreadsheets into a home computer and then transmitting that data using the Internet. Work at home data entry personnel may also proofread text, edit information, and maintain databases. Data entry jobs usually offer flexible scheduling, allowing people to work when they want to and as little or as much as they want to. Some of the growing fields for work at home data entry include medical and legal transcription, medical coding and litigation coding.

There are several freelance websites that post freelance data entry jobs. Avoid responding to ads that do not list a company name or contact information. There are many reputable freelance work forums that can provide you with work at home data entry job listings. The forums are usually free to join and provide trustworthy information. Once you have found an advertisement for a work at home data entry job, check out the company by visiting their website. You can also do an online search using the company name and visit the Better Business Bureau website to see if they have been listed as a fraudulent company.

Answer 5

Online stock trades.  Learn on a practice site (not one that costs money).  

Paper Route.

Baby-sitting.

Become an Ebay trader.

Learn to assemble computers (A+ certification) and do computer repair for fun and money.

An parent owned home based business works.

Find a successful business person, like at least with a $500,000 net worth.  Ask them if you can interview them once per week about their work.  Keep a journal.  Ask them to review it and comment.  Learn how to do good business from someone who knows how to do good business.  That way you can come up with your own great ideas.

The average american laborer makes $35,000 per year.  Thats over $2000 per month, or $500 per week.  They aren't remarkably bright or talented.  I see no reason why age means more than intelligence, hard work, or determination.  I see no reason why you can't make $500 a week by being innovative, and committed.  There is a reason that real adults scoff at Mc-Jobs - its not worth having.
