That happened to me, but I was lucky and got laid off with a nice package.\n\nNow I work at a state prison making $34k + a year. It's by far the easiest job I've ever had. It's also pretty safe, as long as you follow the rules. By the way, I was 47 when I started working at the prison.\n\nLet me know if you need/want more info!

I think I can help you with part of your question, but you really have to dig down and answer this one for yourself. To find a fulfilling job you have to decide what makes you happy. I notice that you say you want to be outdoors. What else do you like that will make your job tailored to you? Do you like working with people, working alone, being creative, being given specific instructions, doing repetitive work, or something that changes from day to day? After you answer those things, then think about the types of jobs that would incorporate those qualities. For example, if you like outdoors, working with specific instructions and doing repetitive work you might want to look into construction, landscaping, working in a theme park, or something like that. The outdoor stuff is not really my area so I am sure you can come up with more creative suggestions. I hope this helps you get started.

If you mean a good career, first think about what you really love to do and what you're good at. You'd be surprised the different careers out there. If it's something you enjoy in your spare time, it's very likely you can earn money doing it. There are also online surveys that can help you choose a good career. Try doing a search for career aptitude, and you might find a few.

Start looking around!  Retail sux, but there are plenty of companies that treat (and compensate) their employees well.

Unfortunately there are very few jobs that pay well for someone your age. As a freshman, I assume you are 15 years old which is too young for most jobs. The only way you will find anything above minimum wage is if you know someone or have a connection that can get you a better job. Once you've embraced that you probably won't be making a whole lot, I recommend that you look for jobs that are fun. What are you interested in? Jobs at baseball stadiums are great for sports fans. Maybe a camp counselor would be fun for you? There are several summer camps for special kids. Look into some of these. Movie theaters may also hire you and will give you discounts on movies. Have fun and good luck.

From personal experience you MUST find a job that you enjoy.  No matter how much money you make, it is not enough to make a job tolerable...well atleast not for me.  Maybe the bank job is fun, but you could do better, sounds like you have experience in the banking area, find a job that is similar and pays more.  Maybe your best career path is not A-the bank or B-the old company, but rather C-something that is similar but better.

Like she said, not sure what you'd be interested in -- but if you're not into fast food -- i worked at the public library.  Most of my friends worked in retail, restaurants, or grocery stores.  Find something you will somewhat enjoy - so you're not miserable.

You could join a Temp Agency down in Baltimore. I know I did that and made some decent money. I did all sorts of jobs like a receptionist or I just plugged in numbers into a spreadsheet all day. Not the most exciting but I some cash.

Start looking now. Your job is what you spend most of your waking hours doing, and If it's not making you happy, don't punish yourself. Sure it might get better, but you've got to be happy.

Look for work that you love to do.\n\nLook for an environment where you can continue to learn.\n\nLook for work where you like the people you work with.\n\nLook for work where they pay you well.

i would define a good job as one you enjoy, are good at , and pays a fair wage that makes you feel its worth your time.  with the experence you have working for your mom you have a good start but your age does limit your options. is there a marina near you? borrow a vacume cleaner and cleaning supplies and offer to clean boats for people. offer to go fer for people on the beach, you know go fer food, drinks, sun block ask for a buck a trip. start a rent a kid service to do odd jobs like picking up a yard or helping clean a garage. take care of pets. run to the store for shut ins. you get the point by now i'm sure. good luck. i'm looking for someone like you myself since i always need help on the place but 1200 miles is a bit too far of a commute i guess

Best bet is to start with your local paper, or maybe a local tv station...send them some reviews and tell them how much you want to work for them.  It might take some time...but if they see how committed you are, maybe they will give you a paying job.  Once you get your foot in the door at a local place, you can move up from there.

try finding an "on-campus" job through your university.  They usually pay pretty well.
