What's a good way for a 15 year old to make some money during the summer?

Answer 1

Several ways. Mow lawns, get a newpaper route, ask your parents or any nearby relatives if they have anything that you can do "for a price."

Answer 2

Call your local school board or employment office and ask them the local laws on minors being employed. In my state you can work like 25 hours a week, during certain hours (like only before 9 pm). If you CAN work, try Walmart or something like that.
Or if you have a talent, like good at math, play a music instrument, etc.....then put an ad in the local newspaper offering your services as a tutor over the summer. The going rate for tutors is $15 an hour or more!! You could also offer services as a senior citizen companion, you can go with elderly folks to the store and hlep them shop, fix them meals, etc. If people are hesitant to hire you, offer to do it for free for a week to prove how good you can be at it.
Good luck!

Answer 3

Now is the perfect time to get hired - in about the next week. It may be hard to find a job since most employers want 16. But they do hire as young as 14! Example is McDonald's - they hire at 14 and are SOOO flexible of what you want to work, whether it's 10 hours or 40 hours a week. Another idea is babysitting, if you like kids. Lots of people hire babysitters in the summer since kids are out of school and the parents still have to work. Look in your local newspaper, or their website if you don't get the paper, in the classifieds. Good luck!

Here's some great ideas:

Jewelry maker = go visit Michaels Crafts...there's a number of items there to make your own stuff and resell at garage sales, flea markets, or farmer markets.

Pet Sitting - Donald Trump loves to say that the pet product world is a 40 million dollar a year industry...so go get your slice!

Candle Making - the guy who invented the Yankee Candle Co. started selling his candles to neighbors as a boy...now look at him.

These are just a few.....for more ideas:

Answer 6

I'm in the same position and right now I am trying to get a job at a dinner witnessing. You make good money and tips, but the prob. is most people don't wont to hire you until you are 16. Good luck though.

Answer 7

Be a camp counselor (little kids are soo cute!)
Babysit - tough jobs = big bucks! (and during summer you can take the kids outside which means not as much to clean up)
Yardwork for neighbors (especially the old ones)
Paint someone's house or garage (with their permission)
CAR WASH!!!

Answer 8

15 is probably a year too young for retail, so I'd say probably like a grocery store or maybe even something like caddying.

Answer 9
