Summer Job

<p>Does anyone know a job I could possibly get? I'm 15 and it seems as though I'm too young but I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions?</p>

<p>In Canada, you can work at Tim Hortons when you're 14.</p>

<p>Most 15 year olds I know work at summer camps, but its a bit late to be applying now. They'll have filled up spots already. Try asking around local grocery stores or coffee places. You might have to be sixteen, though.</p>

<p>What kind of neighborhood do you live in, suburban, rural or urban?</p>

<p>When my kids were 15, babysitting, petsitting and taking care of houses while people were away on vacation actually gave them more work than they needed. We have a lot of small kids in the neighborhood, however. One family with three children wanted my son about three times a week and paid much better than minimum wage. My son even did "pool" sitting for one neighbor. Think about what is near your home, as transportation can be a problem. One reason 15 year olds are attractive to moms, which might be a plus for you, is that they can't drive yet so they aren't busy running around town with their friends. </p>

<p>You could put flyers under the doormats of your neighbors, and give the families you know a phone call telling them you're available for small jobs. Washing cars, gardening, small paint jobs and entertaining children are all posibilities. My son at 13 year had a magic act that he prerformed with a friend at kids' birthday parties...they called themselves the "Dynamic Duo." Be creative. think about how you could profit from things you enjoy doing.</p>

<p>I worked at a summer camp.</p>

<p>Find a contractor/ landscaper and work for him. The pay isn't taxed so you actually earn a very decent amount, but be ready for some hard, physical labor(such as carrying 80lb cement cinderblocks, digging 4 foot holes, mixing cement, carrying wood posts, etc)</p>
