<p>Yes I know this thread has been done thousands of times but I want to do it again</p>
<p>I am about to be 16 and trying to think of places to apply. So who is working here and where are you working?</p>
<p>Not me… :3 It’s so hard to get a part time job without have connections or major work experience. Some of the people I know who have jobs work so many hours and hate it. HAhaha</p>
<p>Become a tutor!</p>
<p>I go to a pretty good high school in the city. My neighbors know this, and have hired me to tutor their freshman/sophomore children in a variety of subjects from Spanish to Precalculus.</p>
<p>I charge $30/hour and I go for a couple of hours during weekends.</p>
<p>Then I take that money and invest it in stocks.</p>
<p>Better than some lame job at McDonald’s!</p>
<p>I work on the banquet staff of a local hotel… Basically I set up tables, bring out food, pour drinks, and stand around chatting for most of the time. Soooo easy and the pay is good, too!</p>
<p>Nothing official nor legal but it brings in $</p>
<p>I tutor too. Pays good and I only have to work a few hours a week :)</p>
<p>i’m getting ripped off! tutor for free twice a week and work at kmart. and volunteer at the franklin institute once a week</p>
<p>@jake: That actually sounds like a cool job haha.</p>
<p>I teach little children :D</p>
<p>I will be working at a summer camp during the summer time. I like it because it will give me some extra cash over the summer, but it won’t take away from my academics. I’ll be working with 1st and 2nd graders.</p>
<p>I just started working at Kumon, well I actually haven’t worked yet, I just got hired. I should start soon. I’ve heard it doesn’t pay well, but I’m excited to work with kids as I want to be a teacher! :)</p>
<p>i work at pinkberry…serving the general public frozen yogurt for hours on end really blows</p>
<p>@lightasair-
Fro yo addict here. That is probably my dream high school job. XD</p>
<p>^ lightasair, that sounds fun! I’ve actually wanted to be an ice cream worker hahaha</p>
<p>Private violin teacher: $25/hour (though my student’s moving away in 2 weeks; bye-bye income). I’m getting an internship this summer at the DA’s office, but after that, I’m hoping I can use my grades/test scores to lure in some people who need tutoring.</p>
<p>Tutoring is extremely profitable. My school has a directory of tutors you can apply to be in; you turn in a list of all the subjects you tutor in and have them signed by the respective teachers. My sophomore year I charged $15/hr. My junior year, I charged $20 until I got so many people calling me for tutoring that I raised it to $25 and had to refer many of them over to my friends 'cause I couldn’t do them all. Total I’ve earned is about $250 over a 2-month period. (I had to stop because I had swim spring season.) I’m definitely gonna do some more tutoring spring semester senior year.</p>
<p>@JoJoBear I can’t tutor because my school offers free tutoring…</p>
<p>@oxycontin Oh do say more :)</p>
<p>I’ll be working at a water park this summer. I had my first training session yesterday, and I have one more tomorrow. I really like the boss/management there, so hopefully I’ll feel the same way all summer.</p>
<p>Well I was just asking because I am turning 16 in June and I am wondering if I should I apply for jobs now and put the start date as my birthday. Or wait until my actual birthday (When most of the jobs are taken).</p>
<p>I work at bestbuy during the summer, as a seasonal employee. They are pretty flexible with their hours but it is a horrible place to work overall.</p>
<p>
I was thinking about applying there why is it so bad to work there?</p>
