You see here. I need a job so I can save up to go to college. There is one problem. I live on a lake with a whole bunch of resorts and that is all, and I live on one of thoughs resorts. Really you can't get a job here. There isn't any stores, malls, etc, and any where close to me that has a job available is an hour a way. I need a job, and it also has to be a good paying job (partime). Also I live in BC, Canada. What can I do? Can some one help me please. Thanks.

I think the prior answer is a good bet - Sell services to the community. Messenger, delivery, homework tutoring, window cleaning...Make the rounds of nearby resorts and homes and let 'em know what you're doing and why and see if they can't point you in the right direction.
Avoid the Internet scams (Make $500 a day stuffing envelopes! Sell [product X] the [insert wild claim here] online! - They're *ALL* nonsense). Is there a gas station nearby where you can clerk or pump gas? Perhaps a local convenience store?
"Good Paying" is going to be a problem. I think you're just going to have to be patient. How about scholarships?

If there are no jobs in your area (have you exhausted possibilities for jobs at the resorts? maid work, janitorial, food service, that type of thing), you will have to relocate.
If you know where you want to go to school, that's the place you want to find a job. I would apply for scholarships and loans to get you into school. Once you get there, the school should have a student employment office that you should contact. These offices list not only jobs on campus, but jobs for other local companies as well. My first term at college, I picked up a position as a computer operator for the US Geological Survey through the student employment office.
Good luck!

If i were you,
I would go to the nearest health clinic, ask if there is anyone that requires assistance in living at home, for older people, most times in the BC area there are many retired persons that require assistance with their everyday household needs. such as shopper and or just a companion for them , or perhaps start up a animal baby sitting for people that like to get away and would pay you well to go to their moms and feed and take care of their pets, i have a niece that makes a very good living doing this, she is so busy she had to hire two other girls to help her with the work. her income for last years doubled mine. so get off your rear end and start knocking on doors make up a couple of flyer's with a notice of your service. for humans and for animals .

Start your own business , sitting , window cleaning , laundry , cleaning houses / cars. Cooking for people etc. think what is in demand and what other people are not willing to do , or need help with.
