Where can a 14 yr. old get a summer job?

Answer 1

You should not expect your parents to pay you for helping around the house. That is something you should be doing anyway.

Jobs you can do for neighbors: Mowing lawns, walking pets, washing cars, and babysitting (if you are a responsible kid).

You may find it difficult to get a job at 14 because most jobs require you have skills. It does not hurt to ask. Try jobs that do not require a college education, such as fast food, grocery stores, shops, etc.

If you are adventurous, you can try running your own internet business by buying things at garage sales and selling them online at www.ebay.com. Research what things are selling for on ebay before purchasing. (Also, avoid buying stuff on ebay or you will spend more than you make.) I suggest you specialize in a few items: specific toys, books, etc. You are going to become an expect so pick a category that you really enjoy. (When you see a bargain you will know it!) Be certain to check the website daily to make certain your customers are happy. To make a profit you will need to calculate the costs: ebay fees, paypal fees, packaging materials, and postage.

Answer 2

My first job at 12 was on Saturdays cleaning an elderly woman's house, My mom knew her. She was about 70 years old or so. I made $20 each week and it was light cleaning. She just was lonely and needed some one to come over and visit with her. I learned a lot and she gave me a lot of gifts.

I also sold Avon and Tupperware. After that I made a list of all the things that I could do no matter how small for people. I would suggestion that you work from referrals--a list of family and friends of the family--there are, believe it or not, a lot of weirdos out there. Like I ran an ad in the paper to do some typing. I was supposed to do it at my home but the calls were slow. Then someone called and asked me to do it in their home. I took a friend but when they left to come back the man of the house kept touching me every time he talked. I didn't like it, and I never did that again.

Anyway, the important thing here is:
1. Make a list of the things you like to do.
2. Choose something on the list you'd like to try first.
3. Make a flyer to distribute and a few calls to let people know you're in business.
4. Sell your services or products to friends and family
5. If you need any more help read the book: "A Teen's Guide to Business" by Linda Menzies, Oren S. Jenkins & Rickell R. Fisher. www.Amazon.com has it for $0.01.

GOOD LUCK WITH EVERYTHING!!!

Answer 3

Not many public companies will hire 14(or even 15 for that matter) year olds. Try talking to neighbors about lawns or babysitting, or just any other miscellanious work that needs to be done.

Answer 4

I know the Burger King hires 14 year olds.
