Your options for employment are limited by your age but if you're ambitious you can create a business of your own at any age. It is important to get your parents on board with your plans because there are alot of crazy people out there who don't share your intentions of integrity. You cannot work for an employer unless that employer are your parents so talk to them openly and honestly.

What are your skills and interests? Use them to create a business (legal) that can help your potential clients make money, save money, save time or get peace of mind.

Set up a local recycling center to collect and sell recyclable items like newspapers, bottles, cans, scrap metal, etc. You can help neighbors by cleaning out their attcis and basements and garages. You might also sell items online (Ebay or ?) to collect even more money. Your parents will need to take out the Ebay account and you should only work under their direction.

Write a newsletter. What topics do you know about and care about enough to sell information on? Continue to learn and consult with experts to edit the newsletter and help you get fresh content. Even making $1 a month for informational products can do quite well with your readership of 100, 500 or several thousand subscribers.

Make and sell crafts. I am always impressed by home made ceramics, garden flags, framed photographs, etc. You and your family/friends can have alot of fun together making crafts and they can be profitable. The unique the products, the more profitable for your business.

Teaching. Even at 13 you can teach or tutor others (younger or older) to learn things like computer skills, language, or whatever you are better at. You can work with groups of people if you are decent with public speaking. Imagine how much money you can make with $5 classes and 5-10 students in your class? Now figure about 4-5 classes per week. Money adds up.

Make sure whatever you do is age appropriate. You can make alot of money doing brain surgery but without the right education, experience and licenses, you won't find clients. Do what you love, love what you do ... and the money will follow.

To be honest with you, I'm not sure about the laws where you live, but I live in CA and for the most part actual JOBS don't start hiring until someone is at least 15. With Child Labor laws, you would have to do some real digging to find a decent job.

Answer 4

When I was younger, I did baby-sitting, walked dogs, took care of cats or dogs while people were on vacation, and watered neighbor's plants while they were out of town and got their mail.  If you live in a colder area, in the winter you could shovel snow as well.  My younger brother cuts grass and had a paper route.  If you have extra stuff you don't need anymore, you could have a garage sale if it is okay with your mom.  

You could start by thinking about what you might be able to do for neighbors and offer the service to them.  Good luck!

Answer 5

13- 14 – 15 years old: Depending on local laws, you can work outside school hours in non-hazardous jobs (restaurant and retail gigs are fine). But your hours are limited, especially on school days, when you can work a maximum of three hours a day. This increases to a maximum of eight hours a day on Saturday and Sunday. The maximum you can work in a week while school is in session is 18 hours, and this increases to 40 hours during the summer.

You should also know that while the U.S. government doesn’t require you to have any special paperwork or documents saying it’s OK for you to work, your state may. Some states require these documents (also known as “working papers”) for teens under 18. Ask your school guidance office or career center if they have the forms to fill out – and to provide you with assistance. You can also check with your state’s labor department by typing in the following Web address into your Internet browser:

Answer 6

Hello. I'm also 13 as well, I make my money by doing a paper round.

The pay is ok, £20 a week. Don't be shy about asking for a job, go to a local news agents and ask if there is any paper rounds going. If you really don't want to ask then get your parents to, I'm sure they wont mind.

If you don't want the paper round then work for your moms money wash up, polish and other stuff. Ask your mom what she needs doing for a bit of money.

Hope this helps.
