Flyingkami00 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Well, I need to make some money but I am only 14. I do some things around the house for cash once and awhile, but it's not for much. I was thinking to put brochures up for snowshoveling around town, but it's in the middle of January and there still hasn't been any! My dad says just walk from yard to yard and ask if I could mow the lawn, or wash the car for $10. My dad says he would be all over an ofer like that. The things is I find that kinda emarassing :oops: So any ideas???? :?: Oh, P.S.: I live in the U.S.A so I cannot get a real job until I am 16, so thats what I'm trying to figure out how to go door to door. Also, if any one here is a homeowner and if they can tell me what they would think if some kid walked up to the doo ty! : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshwacka Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Stand outside Wal-Mart in pitiful clothes and beg for money. It probably pays more than most minimum-wage jobs. 99 Crafting Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

issy2 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I'd suggest going into a newagent and asking about a paperound - a simple job, my brother got paid about 20 quid a weekfor a big one. In most English newsagents you can get a paperround at 13, but some it's later. Or you could work in Starbucks. Mhmmm free coffee... =P~ (I think you have to be 16, though. So I'd suggest just asking around a few small shops, bookshops etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompey_spud Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 when i was 14 and wanted a summer job, i asked my mate sophie (whose dad owns a farm) whether he needed any help, and he did, and so i got a well paying job, easy as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
How2PK Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 You write a letter, you post it, with a little bit of luck you get invited for an interview, and with some more luck you've got the job. If you don't have any luck you just keep doing it over and over again. Not at the same company mind you.

fearspudgod Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 i work at the Y as a camp counsoler in the summer, i just gave them a call, told them my past places of employment. Then they asked me to come in for a drug test/payment details. Easy as that. http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/975/70961xn8.jpg[/img]Playing WoW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ape Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 What are your interests/skills? Work on them, and by the Summer you could be earning money off them. If you don't have any in particular, I suggest a stacking-shelves job or something along those lines. Something like practical-labour. I'm afraid you're not gonna' get far until you're nearing 16. -Mitch New sig to come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gin_and_Tonic Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Yeah i was gonna say remember hes only 14 :| If you have a closely knit neighbourhood then its easy to find some yard work... But i would advise a paper-round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsdragon Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Ask around and find out the minimum age to work at some places. Over here in VA you get a workers permit when you're under 16-but it leaves you with limited hours so they're less likely to hire you. Or if you have connections you find out which places are hiring and try and get an app for there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dragon_Reborn Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I got a Paper Route when I was 13. You can probably work at Dunkin Donuts at 14. And just about every Grocery Store hires at 15. I work at Stop and Shop right now. It sucks, but it's better then being poor. ~~Let The Dragon ride again, on the winds of time~~I've always felt as if I'm the only person who can understand the concept of sarcasm on the internet.

aaron1120 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Oh, P.S.: I live in the U.S.A so I cannot get a real job until I am 16, so thats what I'm trying to figure out how to go door to door. You need to be 14 to get a job in the US, it's just that most places don't hire people under 16 because they don't have a vehicle. < | Runehead | Learning Java Programming, Please PM Me Tips | Signature by Loaf2000 | > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calitoker90 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Its not the vechile factor thats just part of it. Its a maturity factor and a number of things but yes you will NOT get hired to fast food or most grocery stores till you are 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, in certain parts of the U.S. it is, but where I live you need to be 16, I checked the government website and looked at our state's laws How would I go around getting a paper route? I don't see many kids delivering papers, only mail trucks. I know where a newspapers headquarter is, you think I should right them a letter? hmmmm :-k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deloriagod Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 What do you mean you can't get a real job? In the 8th grade (most of us were 14) I had friends who worked at Hy-Vee. I'm not sure if Hy-Vee is nation wide but it's a grocery store. Internet Marketing For Newbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
