You could baby sit or clean houses or wash cars...five bucks a car, two cars a day, five days a week. You do the math.\n\n                          have fun!

Your best bet is to call around because usually most places hire at age 16, but some will hire you at 15. Try grocery stores, restaurants, retail stores, fast food restaurants. If these don't interest you, you could mow lawns over the summer for people in your neighborhood or you could babysit.

Well, talk to your parents first to see if they or someone else can provide you with dependable transportation b/c employers will have that as a top concern.  Then see with restaurants or stores will hire people your age.  You could also babysit or work for a daycare or tanning salon or office or car wash.  Just decide on what is available for you to do and go from their.  Good luck.

In short, you can't (serious money anyway), the system is structured against you. If you are not old enough to get a "real" job, I would suggest a papper route, it is good exercise, and it is probably the most money you can make before you are old enough to be employed. If you have the time and energy, you can even take up multiple paper routes, this will help you earn more money faster. But remember, there is alot of walking involved in paper routes, and you usualy have to get up VERY early (like 4:00-5:00am).\n\nGood Luck!

Sell stuff you don't need (or ebay or locally). Try and get a job if you don't have one. If it's VERY important and you're old enough ask in the bank for a loan, and/or ask your family/friends for one.

garage sale, give blood, ask some friends, family or neighbors if you could wash cars, mow, babysit, walk dog, clean for them or even run errends. You could also consider going to a temp agency.........they find you work fast and pay daily at some places. Good Luck

Well, you can certainly begin working at age 14 to make cash. My advice is twofold. First, all the time you spend "making cash" now may have a detrminetal effect on your future. You should be studying, thinking, learning at your age. Doing this instead of some pointless fast food job will ensure that you make real money in the future, when you're older. Second, if you do want to make money now, don't look for a job. Figure out how you can start your own business. Become an entreprenuer. This is where the real money is, and being able to say you were a teen CEO always looks good on the resume.

I hate to tell you this hun, but very, very few places will hire 14 year olds.  I actually had a job bussing tables when I was 14, but it was a horrible job for me because the managers were jerks and they didn't treat me very well.  I was also probably too immature at that time to handle a real job.  I would have been better off just babysitting for the summer and waiting a couple years to get a job.  I would say babysitting is your best bet.  I know you said you tried, but it shouldn't be difficult to find babysitting jobs if you really want to.  Take the Red Cross babysitting course, which should make you more marketable.  They will also share your name with people looking for babysitters.  Put an ad in your newspaper, and do a little networking.  Tell people you know (family friends,etc.) that you would like to babysit and ask them to pass your name on to others.  Good luck.

Here are some suggestions:\n-Grocery Store Bagger/ Caryout\n-Fast Food (McDonalds, Wendys etc.)\n-Independently owned businesses (Mom & Pop stores will usually hire young people as cashiers, stockers etc., )\n-Newspaper Carrier\n-Restaurant (Dishwasher etc.)\n\nALSO try the carts at a mall, those little specialty shops in the main hall, those are owned by ordinary schmoes, who usually need some help.\n\nSTART WITH ONE OF THESE JOBS, and when you become 16 and 18, you have work experience at a job, and you could start out as a secretary or something else. If  secretary is not your career path, your computer skills wont get you far as a teenager. I am 14 myself and have taken computer classes at HS, but an office wont hire at 14, so I got a job today at wendys, therefore I will have my feet wet in the world of work.

for eleven years old you cannot work to earn, like raking leaves pet sitting or cleaning for it will be illegal for a minor to work, all i can suggest is that you can make or buy pretty things and re sale to your classmate or friends,  and that is trading business. you can start to find sale pencil, accessories, stationary etc. then add then sell to regular price. but make sure to know the taste of your friends.......\n\nGood luck!

Summer camps are the best work for minors.  Otherwise you could try an ice cream shop or babysitting.

You'll probably need a work permit, and you can get one from your school...see the counselor for one; and your parents or guardians will need to sign it.  Try the refreshment stand at your local park or swimming pool.  Or try the local newspaper for an available paper route.  \n\nOr you can do what I did when I was 14...I loaded up car washing supplies onto my brother's wagon, and travelled all over the neighborhood and washed cars (I just used their garden hoses).  I made a lot of dough, and it was all tax free!  I even made flyers and homemade business cards to hand out.  Good luck, I hope you have a profitable summer.

paper route; babysit; lawn care or gardening;  there is a book titled "Extra Cash for Kids" which may help you figure out what you can do.   I"m glad you're looking to earn money and not wanting handouts!
