Answer 2

Answer: You should stay away from CashCreate, Treasure Trooper and other survey Web sites.

It is a waste of time and will cause you unhappiness.

If you choose to be 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.

A lot of work to collect the "reward payments" that payout is not worth the effort over time. You will need to sign up for many types of offers, most of which require you to use a credit card. You start a week trial service with varies types of businesses or services, such as, an Internet service provider, book club, credit monitoring service, etc. to get your reward. If you don't cancel the trial, you end up being charged for the service and each service has different rules about how and when you can cancel. Very cumbersome!

Since you will need to sign up for at least a dozen offers before you get to $100 in rewards, it's very easy to forget what you have signed up for, or the problems you will have canceling in time to to be charged the full amount. The Cash Create recruiters you see here over exaggerate how much money you can earn because once you've done the high-dollar trials ($8-10 each), you are left with small rewards of a dollar or two. The survey business is not an efficient way to make money and you are more than likely to loose money in the end.

Answer 3

When I was in that situation, I had I job that I wish I could STILL have while in college. It was the afternoon/evening shift at the neighborhood convenience store. The reason I loved it is because it's fairly straightforward once you get into the routine, mildly entertaining because the customers make you laugh (sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for bad ones), and in my case it paid reasonably well. The best part was the fact that I sold lottery tickets and would get nice tips when people won money, because lottery buffs are a superstitious lot and will think you're "lucky" if tickets you sell them are winners.

Something like this may not be an obvious choice, but I believe it's hands down better than a retail job at a large, corporate store. Small neighborhood convenience stores are smaller affairs where you interact directly with the owner/boss who may be interested in helping out a local teenager, and it'd probably pay better than the measly hourly rate you'd get at your local Stop & Shop, especially if you get the hang of it and don't flake out in the first month.

Good luck with your job search!

Answer 4

For someone under the age of 18 the choices are rather limited. Since most 16 yo's don't have reliable transportation or a vehicle of their own it would be best to look for something close to home. That being said anything that requires little to no experience/education would be best (ie: fast food restaurant, dietary dept of local hospital, newspaper route... can usually be done before school, mowing lawns or shoveling snow.. depending on season, check your local classifieds). Good Luck!!

Answer 5

I think the greatest job for students is reffing little kids games. My cousin refs 2 or 3 soccer games every Saturday morning and makes pretty good money. It's only once a week, so he still gets plenty of time to study and hang out with friends. And he really enjoys doing it.

Answer 6

I am a part time worker doing work online at home, so I would like to share a link where you can make $600-$1500 in a month working at home.

Answer 7

My high school counselor's office was able to help me get a work permit and refer me to job openings that were called in to the school from local employers who were looking specifically for industrious teens. The school program was called "Distributive Education" and helped me earn money, experience and counted for credits towards graduation. There are alot of rules and laws that employers face when hiring minors so there aren't alot of jobs out there for teens. Your school can give you the edge.

Answer 8

Working at resturant being a hostess/server assistant, working at Mcdonalds, burger king, subway, working in grocery stores, department stores, places like Chuck E Cheese, babysitting, doing an summer intern program. Best Wishes!

Answer 9

after school job (don't work past 10pm cuz of school in the morning)
could be in food service or dry cleaners or helping out at an office in the afternoons. weekend jobs are good (snack bar at a bingo hall for example).
if you want more control then you could have your own business cleaning houses, babysitting or lawn mowing.
but i feel it's better to try out regular employment.

Answer 10

Bag boy at the local grocery store.
