Jobs for Teenagers

Babysitting-

This is the most obvious of teenage jobs. It’s easy to do, and it can sometimes be fun too! Only one problem, you usually will get paid much less than minimum wage! If you would like to let people know that you are up for babysitting their kids, simply make posters, and put them on bulletin boards in your local libraries, convenience stores, or city halls! Just remember that you can’t expect to make too much money doing this!

Fast Food-

Here’s one field I’ve never worked in, but I’ll assume it pays the same as the current field I am working in… Minimum Wage! Sure that’s not fun, but it gets you more than babysitting. It is also nice having set hours so you know how to work your school schedule around your job, and set wages are nice to have too, because then you don’t have to worry about getting jipped because your employer gave you twenty bucks even though you worked six hours!

Convenience Store/Retail Store/Mega Store/Grocery Store Worker-

All of these fit into about the same catagory. You’ll probably work for minimum wage, maybe a small bit more, and you’ll have set hours, which, as I stated earlier, is nice! You should probably be good with people if you want to take a job in this area. You’ll end up doing a lot of talking. I work in a convenience store and I’ve had people that sit in there for hours at a time. Sometimes they can get really annoying, but I guess that’s just part of having a job.

Lawnmowing and Other Yard Services-

Offer to rake the leaves for someone, offer to mow someones lawn! It’s really easy work, and you’ll usually get paid well for it! If you want to start a small lawnmowing business then simply set your prices based on yard size. Bigger lawns for about twenty dollars, medium sized ones about fifteen dollars, and small lawns for ten dollars. As for raking. Most lawns can be done in under an hour, charging ten dollars per lawn is reasonable, and it’s an easy way to make a quick buck.

Start your own business-

Make something! Sell it! It may be the hardest thing to do, but it is definitely the most profitable. It’s also fun to do with friends! If you have any idea for a service you could offer, just make a poster, and post it on bulletin boards. It’s a cheap, simple way to advertise, and hundreds of people could see your advertisement everyday! Just make sure you watch out for shady people! Haha!
