You need to change your thinking. Admissions directors can smell out kids who did things because they looked good for Admissions – and they shy away from those types of student’s. Instead, what you should do is apply sideways: http://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/applying_sideways.
FWIW: Most high school student’s cannot legally work in the US until they are 16 years old. And even then, most businesses are not interested in hiring high school student’s for interns. So, the vast majority of jobs high school student’s have on their resume consists of camp counselor, waiter, busboy, dishwasher – all of which my kids did. If you can get hired doing something less menial – good for you. Go for it!
Start a business. Even if it is lawn care or something, you get points for initiative and you will learn a lot!
If you want to get a job, I recommend that you do something that:
If you care about something, that enthusiasm will shine through on your application. If you are doing the job just to put something on your admissions resume, it may be sniffed out by admissions people. Plus, if it is fun, you’ll enjoy doing it!
Starting a small business doing something related to something you already do or weasleing your way into an internship at a local company where you do non-paper-filing kind of stuff are a few ideas. Two things I did - though I didn’t start doing them until after I got my admissions results back were starting a humor website and working a summer internship where I got to staff a booth at summer festivals (you could conceivably do the same, but work at a farmers market selling some sort of food that you like, or something similar).
Thanks for the advice, and the wonderful link!
However, when you say I should look for jobs “less menial” what kind do you exactly refer to, because jobs like cashier or tutor are all I can find 
I was an actor in a haunted house. That has very little to do with what you’re acting, but it was pretty cool.
Honestly, I think any work experience is good, and not just for admissions reasons. You get money, and you show colleges that you can behave and succeed in a professional setting. Starting a business or something similar that shows a lot of initiative might help (though it seems like that’s becoming more common, and it often speaks more about the resources you have access to than anything). Internships or things relating to your major are also good. But I would focus more on trying to get a paying job that you won’t hate, because your options are probably pretty limited, and colleges will recognize that.
I also worked at a haunted house as an actor!! It was absolutely amazing. One of the best times of my life.
Pretty much any job can provide you with valuable experience (sadly, for some, it’s how not to treat employees.) Take advantage of the opportunity, wherever you work, to find out what people like about their jobs and don’t like. You’ll begin to get a good picture of what makes for a satisfying career choice, a good employer, and some ‘what not to do’ lessons.
If money isn’t a major motivator, I suggest you get in touch with the your volunteer fire and rescue squad. S had a very educational time riding the ambulances. You’d be amazed at the number of people who claim that the tree or fence they hit ‘came out of nowhere.’ Never tempted to drink and drive after that…
