well you can get a job during the school year, and during the summer work full time. that will earn u more money than what u listed. but ur friend that is 15 might have to do the things listed cuz most won't hire a 15 year old.

I used to work at McDonalds when I was 14, that was only 4 years ago. I have a 14 yr old bro that caddies right now and is a swim instructor. Hope this helps!

Try online surveys. Some you can do if you're over 14. Check out the one below I think yfou can join as long as your over 14. Dont forget to work out a budget for yourself so you can at least save some of that money for a large purchase ie car, holiday etc. I recommend the Budget Planner software from the site below - it's fast and easy to use and its FREE!

Make babysitting flyers using the computer and put them in the library, people's mailboxes, and grocery stores. Drum up more business and keep a notebook to schedule when you do get a customer. Culver's minimum hiring age is 14 with a workers permit. I called many stores because I am 14 looking for a job. This was the response they gave which makes me happy after looking for so long. Find a local one go online and apply and go in store to apply or call and ask if they are hiring. What I did was Google a bunch of business near my home and found their numbers using Google maps or their sites and I called and directly asked if they are hiring and what age do they hire at. Try local grocery stores, pizza parlors, retail stores, fast food restaurants. Check out my blog. it has tons of money making ideas, saving tips, ways to score freebies , and discounts. the link is under my profile. You can create a blog too. You can generate money just ranting about your interests.

Try to see if you can get a waitressing job. The tips are great during the summer since you can work full time. For job searching don't rely too much on online sites. It's better to check the newspaper or actually go in to a place that looks like they need help. Are any of your friends artistic? Selling art online is also a great way to make cash.
