1. Sell all possessions that you not longer desire on eBay - You will make thousands if you maintain a good feedback record.
2. Apply for a job at a local food or clothing store. This is going to be your primary source of income, even if you are only making the minimum wage, it will add up.
3. Work all summer on your job and have a good attitude and you might even get a raise.
4. Do chores around the house. Ask your parents if you can clean the house each week instead of them or your housekeeper. Do your laundry and the dishes. This can be a weekly sum of up to $40.
5. Babysit, walk dogs, or mow lawns for your neighbors. They pay really well and you don't have to travel very far.
6. Have them refer you to the other neighbors and soon word will be out.
7. Sell Soda at school for one dollar per can.
8. Use your talents to your advantage. If you are artistic, you can make a product and sell it. Or paint paintings and sell them. If you are really a music nut (and can write music), you can always buy a copy of Sibelius or Finale and you can post your music on the internet. You'll get buckets of money doing that, especially if you post it on SibeliusMusic. If you can't afford any of these programs (they cost up to $600 in most parts of the US), you can start a band and go on MySpace.
9. If you're smart, tutor others in lower grade levels for money.
10. If you are a well known athlete in your school, you can find people who you can coach.
11. Always put your spare change in a jar. Remember, a little here and a little there can really add up.
12. Organize your thoughts and keep simple plan(s) for making money. Trying to tackle too much can be very stressing and can be a hazard to your developing body.

Have you thought about being a teacher? Most of the best teachers did not have it as their first thought. However, you get to help people every day. You get to use your talents in ways that pop up daily. The Department of Defense Educational Activity has schools all over the world where you can immerse yourself in various cultures while making a real difference! Also, the pay can be good, if you are in a good district. If you choose not to teach summer school, you get summers off, also! It really is a rewarding profession where you make a difference.
Also with your affinity for languages, perhaps you may look intop being a linguist!

My brother took a 4-yr.pure Math degree and ended up working for worker's compensation, working out the likelihood of accidents in any particular occupation and setting the rates for employers. Paid VERY well.

You could consider being a veterinarian if you like animals and people. It is a fascinating field, and you wouldn't be limited to vaccinating pets. You could specialize if you wanted to, or there are lots of government and corporate jobs. The US military hires vets too, for research and other things. You sound like you could do anything you wanted to do. Good Luck!!

Because you speak so many languages, have you thought of being a court interpreteur or something were you can use your languages. The fact that you speak spanish is a real plus in this day and age.
