At fifteen, your options are limited. Most places cannot hire you and also, since you probably are not allowed to drive yet, a lot of companies would not want to hire you for dependability reasons.

However, that does not mean your options are zero. I knew a guy who started a lawn mowing service when he was in his early teens and it was a successful lawn maintenance company before he graduated high school. Your biggest asset at the moment is a heck of a lot more energy and physical stamina that a lot of people have. Look and see if you can find yard work or something along those lines. My cousins cut firewood when they were in high school and made a bit of money doing it.

However, the thing to watch out for is bad "quick money". There are lots of ways for you to do illegal things and make quick money and there are lots of ways scammers and con men can sucker you in a quest for quick money.

You sound like a concerned son, which is commendable. You have the makings of an entrepreneur. I would suggest you and your mother work together to form some sort of home-based business to free yourself from the wage earner cycle.

To start, I would open an account with Amazon (free) and start selling used books. You can get books at the Goodwill or yard sales and list them for decent profit. Two rules: Always ship media mail, and focus on nonfiction titles that have not been recent bestsellers. Another way to create some cash could be Ebay, but the fees at that site kind of scare me away.

Lately paid surveys and email reading has become popular, but you need to click on a lot of emails to make anything. Still, it does work. Search Google for "paid emails," or "paid surveys."

when you're ready to move up in the world, I highly recommend you and your mother start an online business. It is easier than you think, and with sites like www.ipowerweb.com, you can have a domain registered and hosted for about $95 per year. They have templates to make the page creation easy. You should also read Internet Riches by Scott Fox. Go to your library and check it out for free. If they don't have it, ask for an inter-library loan. You need to read this book before launching your website.

Finally, for some inspirational reading on how to get out of the rat race (probably more interesting to your mother), you should visit:

Thanks for the question.
