Preferably one that pays. I know that is a lot to ask. It doesn't have to pay, but that would be nice. Please help. I have too much spare time, and I am running out of things to do.

Babysitting, housekeeping, or lawn care are probably your best options. If you are just trying to find something to do, try candy stripers or other volunteering opportunities at www.unitedway.org.

When I was your age I spent a lot of time babysitting. Weekends, and some week nights. It doesn't always pay well, but it's a job & $ and something worthwhile to do with your time. I don't think you can work at a "real" job until you are at least 14, & then you have to get a work permit & permission from your parents.
By the way, I admire your desire to do something good with your spare time. :)

You are too young to get a "real" job in most states where you usually need to be at least 16. But you can help a neighbor with yardwork or find other odd jobs like that. Since pay is not critical to you, you could volunteer to work for a charitable organization, such as a humane society if you like animals. If you are good in school you might be able to help tutor younger kids, helping them with math or learning to read. Is there a guidance counselor at your school that you could ask? They mght have some ideas about places you could volunteer. And volunteer work is something you can list on a job application later on as work experience when you do apply for a real job.

Some of these answers suck!
You can try for clerical work now, like working in the mail room or answering phones. You can also do internships; lots of businesses have govt. administered ones that pay min. wage and take pre-college kids on. If your parents run businesses, they get major tax breaks for hiring family members. Call up some businesses and ask if they need someone to come in once a week and that you'll trade up labor for experience.You learn something new and gain exp. in preparation for college. Looks great on a transcript.
But know that whatever job you take on, if you make any kind of money (even cash) you will be charged what's called a Kiddie Tax (actual IRS term) and it's taxed on your parent's adjusted income at their rate, not yours. They will have to include your income on their forms during tax season.

In Australia you need to be 15 to gain employment. May i suggest volunteer work to such time, you may not be getting paid but you'll have a great resume by the time you are legal to work and will probably be able to pick up really good job, not just a job flippin burgers!!

i have a similar problem-
some "real" jobs open up to you when ur 14-but that is only places like McDonalds and small ice cream shops
to get some extra money you can always try babysitting, dogsitting, lawn work, or tutoring (post flyers to let people know)
if you like animals you can always just volunteer at a some local shelter-it looks great on applications (but sometimes you need to be 16)
good luck on ur search!

You better join school and pursue you studies and take up a better job. However, for financial assistance you may do small business.
