Answer 1

Apply at all the fast food joints around.

My first job was cleaning stalls on a horse farm and I made about $20 a week.

Answer 2

First, look for jobs where you live. The restaurant industry is big for people your age. This can include the fast food places, but can also include being a bus-person at a more elegant restaurant. If the restaurant doesn't serve drinks, you may even be a wait-person (in most states, one has to be 18 to serve alcohol). Working in a restaurant with tips enabled me to put myself through college with a very small amount of loans - so you can make some decent $$. But don't dismiss the fast food places - they can be great for part-time work.

Other alternatives are being a bank teller (where typing and good math skills come in handy). This is also a nicer position and you won't have to deal with demanding customers (for the most part). Some hire students for Saturdays and Friday nights, when banks are generally a little busier (with paychecks or people getting money).

There are also calling jobs. I had one where my job was not a telemarketer, but simply a person who reminded people that their cars needed an oil change. Sometimes this was a very good thing and people were grateful for the reminder. This job actually paid well and had flexible hours. But there are quite a few telemarketing jobs out there (just be prepared for the stigma associated with that).

My advice is to see what is local in your area, then go from there.

Good luck!

My first job was in the Stone Ages where you were paid in rocks.


Kidding aside, try the website www.snagajob.com. IKt's focus is parttime work.
