Dear Gabriel,
I like the fact that you want to be a responsible person by seeking for ways to earn, even though you are still very young.
But one thing I want you to keep in mind is that, there is time for everything in life.
For now while still in your teenage years, you should be developing life skills that can help you later in future.
For example, if you are still in secondary school, try to focus on your academics and perform well in your academic studies, thereby graduating from secondary school with good grades. That in itself will teach you Iifeskills such as commitment to set goals, self control, self determination, sense of discipline to stick to a schedule, ability to follow set rules of your superiors(Teachers and School authority). These skills will help you to keep a job in the future.
Another skill you can take to heart is to learn from home(parents or guidians) on how to live alone and take care of yourself(food preparation, laundry, house cleaning and arrangement) as you are growing to become a well rounded adult.
Furthermore, after your secondary school education, you can learn a vocational skill and practice it for some time in order to be proficient in it.
You will also learn money management and how to exhibit self control in spending, so that you are not always in debt.
In conclusion, don't be in a hurry to be an adult and start earning. There are reasons why everyone has to pass through the different stages of growth and development. It is to train us to be self sufficient and not need someone else to be teaching us on very basic things we should have learnt along the way while growing.
I wish you all the best.
Best Regards
