What is the best way for a 16 year old to make money???

Question

I want to make money, but I'm only 16 and my options are limited. What is the best, or most efficient way, for me to make a decent amount of money. Also, what types of jobs can 16 yr olds get? Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

wait tables, you can make a lot of tips. or work at a specialty store like a gift shop, or a place where you could get perks, like a video or clothing store.

Answer 2

Well my opinion is I wouldn't give my 16yr old the money yet I would just explain to him/her that by buying their own house at a young age could be vary hard, then that's when I would explain all the things him/her would have to do and be responsible for as well. But honestly if you really feel deeply in your heart that your daughter is ready for that step then would say go for it but by doing so be cautiuos about it make sure she knows everything by helping her in every way you can think of.

hey check it out. ill make this short and easy. If you have a lot of friends who are willing to pay only $10 a month for their own domain and are ready to make a very reasonable amount of money a month, read this!!! I am also a 16 year old and last month i discovered GDI (global domains international) its anew company that allows you to control your income during your free time. You have to do very little and could soon be making $1000-$2000 a month. All you need to do to get started is visit:

Typically, depending on the state you reside in, considering you have reached the age of 16 you should be able to get legal employment anywhere without restriction to your age. The only exception to this would be considered "adult" establishments (bars, nightclubs, etc...).

I'm going on some assumptions here, so additional information would be helpful if you can add it later.

I'm assuming you are nearing graduation from high school or you have recently graduated from high school. It would help if we knew this information. Also, if you have graduated from high school, are you planning on going to college, technical school, etc... This would also help to give you some ideas. It would also help to know what kind of area you live in (rural, urban, etc...) and what the general population is in the area you live in (small, medium, large).

Now, I'll tell you what I did for some of the kids in my family. They are all in high school, and needed to find something to work at that they could make money, while not taking up all their time. Something they could do on their own time schedule and still enjoy spending time with their friends, vacation , etc... Something that took little to no money for set-up.

I helped them start their own little lawn service. They started with the yards in their neighborhood. They soon started getting extra yards from close neighborhoods until they had just about all they could physically handle in the amount of time they wanted to spend. They cut grass, trim sidewalks, rake clippings, etc.. and they do this in the evenings and rarely on the weekends. They generally charge $20 to cut and trim a yard. They charge extra for services above that. It generally takes them 30 minutes to cut someones grass and they can do about 5 yards each evening they decide to work. They generally cut grass about 3 days a week. They usually only do grass on the weekends when a large yard needs worked on.

They average about $500 a week between 3 of them working on yards. Thats about $167.00 a week for each person.

They have also decided when seasons change they will start raking leaves, doing clean-up in yards, and clearing sidewalks and driveways of snow in the winter.

Two of them are going to keep doing this while they are in college so they can make money and still be able to do the things they want to without worrying about a work schedule.

Now, they won't make a ton of money, but they will be able to work when they want, how often they want, and not miss whats going on around them because they have to work at Walmart or McDonalds.

This may not be the thing for you, but if there is something in your area you can find a niche for, something to make money then go for it.

Walk dogs, grocery shop for the elderly and family's that are very busy, clean houses, etc... there are a ton of odd type jobs that people have turned into real money makers. Jobs that have turned into careers that many people make a nice living with.

If you decide to work for someone else, I would suggest a flexible schedule. Let me know what you decide.

Answer 5

16y/o can get most jobs with a work permit that oly allows so many hours of work per week... mow lawns, wash/wax cars inside and out in your hood! Hard work but I'd pay a trustworthy 16y/o $40 to do my truck inside and out. 2-3 vehicles a day adds up!

Answer 6

Sell stuff on eBay. Ask your parents for old records, toys that they don't want anymore- they could be worth a lot.

Answer 7

* Babysitting or tutoring, especially if you are good at working with difficult kids.

* Service jobs that include tips, especially if you are personable and friendly.

* Clerical work at an office, especially if you are organized and a good writer.

Answer 8

babysit for the toughest kids in your neighborhood. either that or wash pets for your neighbors and water their plants while they're away on vacation.

Answer 9

Hey....don't remove your dress! Ok?
