you cant work legally, so you would have to do jobs that would pay you "under the table". most actual businesses wont do this, because its illegal, (due to child labor laws, you also cant work more than 4 hours on a school day, 8 hours on a non school day, or 20 hours a week during the school year, or work after 10 pm on school days, 12 am on weekends until you turn 18) so the most you could do is odd jobs, like a paper route, dog walking, lawn mowing, window washing, etc. maybe start a little car washing service going from neighbor to neighbor offering to wash their car for X amount of money. its convienient, inexpensive, and it gives you some extra cash. I dont think babysitting would work tho, no matter how responsible you are, I wouldnt leave my kids to an 11 yr old babysitter, sorry. some 11 yr olds still need babysitters! :) good luck

There are no jobs that will pay you minimum wage at age 11 (Heck, you can’t even legally baby-sit for another two years). It’s even hard to find a job that pays minimum wage at 15.
The best you can do at 11 is a paper route. It’s a lot of work, for not much money, but that’s really all that’s out there.
Don't know why this is in Dogs...

I don't know about making minimum wage, but try things like babysitting, or see if you can get a paper route or ask neighbors if they need odd jobs around the house or yard, or do dog walking or something like that. Good luck.

You really can't get a job in the US if your 11 years old. But you can have odd jobs that you can do somewhat well in. Like Walking dogs, a news paper route, or gardening for neighbors (like mowing lawns).

you can't, you're only 11, you have to be at least 16 to get a job in most states

Mow your neighbors grass for some extra cash. You can't be employed until you are at least 15. Ask your parents for an allowance for you doing your chores.

If you live in the USA it is illegal to work at 11 years old.

You can clean homes for family or rake people yards, cut grass, wash some one car for them. Help an old lady walk there dog.
