I live in the Atlanta area and just got my liscense, but I'm a cheerleader who needs a job with flexible hours, preferably NOT anything food related (restaurants or fast food chains). Any ideas?

How about working at a day-care center? If you're any good with kids, you might like that.

I am way past 16 so my answers may seem totally boring to you now, but these are things that have stayed with me and meant something now that I am an old hag. Write your future self a totally honest letter and then seal it up and hide it somewhere so you can read it in 5, 10, 15 or even 20 years. Be as detailed as you can. This sounds lame but I found my old journal from when I was 15 and it was cool to see how I changed and how I hadn't changed. Go see your favorite band in concert. Pay the extra money, drive the extra miles and go even if a parent goes with you. Dress up and take lots of pictures. In fifteen more years go see them again if they are still around or have reunited. Put on a fashion show of your favorite outfits and then put on a show as you dressed like the other cliques at your school: prep, indie, punk, urban, stoner, nerd and whatever else. Take photos. It will entertain you when you find the photos when you're my age. It will also entertain your kids or any other future members of your family. Take video or photos of your school, your house, your room, the mall and anywhere else you hang out. By the time you're my age it will be gone or be totally changed and you can have documentation of how you lived. So these ideas aren't wild or crazy, but it is so fun to look back on this stuff when you're older. Trust me, it will be fun for you AND your future friends and family. Some of it will make everyone laugh until their sides hurt and some of it will impress everyone with how cool you were. So much of your life now will be forgotten or not thought about in years because other things will seem so much more important. If you document yourself now, who you are won't get washed away with time.

I highly recommend your local grocery store.
I know it doesn't sound exciting to start as a bagger, but think about these positive aspects of it:
* They're used to working around students' schedules.
* Many are national chains, and you can take a transfer to another store when you go off to college.
* They'll usually hire you back over the summer if you have a good work history.
* You can work your way up to Manager, if you're so inclined.
One of my brothers-in-law put his wife thru college while working at the local grocery store...Additionally, as a union member, he had access to a great car loan, and was bringing home more money than his (fully employed) father, at one point in time.
Another of my brothers-in-law quit his job at the local store, moved out of state, then realized he really liked working at the grocery store. He spoke with the manager at his local store in the same chain...they gave him a better job, and reinstated his seniority (in exchange for paying back the vacation payout that he took when he quit).

Chix-fil-A is really good at hiring young teenagers so that they can get a fill of the work environment. Also, they are really good with your hours and they understand that you need money but you also have school. Although, u don't want a restaurants.... Clothing stores at the mall are good about that too. Belk and JC-Penny's are always hiring, especially for seasonal shifts. I don't know how you feel about daycare centers or movie theatures, but those are just some other suggestions. Either way, good luck to you.

Stay away from Cash Create and other survey Web sites!
It's a waste of time and will cause you unhappiness.
If you choose to get suckered in and sign up to take surveys and receive free trials considered you were warned. The minute you give them your credit card and personal information you have now opened your computer to unwanted cookies on your hard drive, annoying pop-up windows and if you are on a PC you open your computer to viruses that can wipe you out.

go to your local mall and apply for retail positions at clothing stores like H&M, Old Navy, A & Finch, etc. you'll probably be able to get clothing discounts as a result too! you can also apply for clerk or cashier positions at drugstores and supermarkets. you should make a simple resume listing any experience you have or make a biz card. you can get the paper stock for the biz card at Staples. people will be impressed with a 16 year old who has a business card.
