Caleb consider what type of job you would like. For example, if you love animals, check with local veterinarians to see if they are hiring. If you'd prefer working with children, check with your local YMCA (many have after-school child care programs and summer camps) or child care centers. Fast food restaurants and retail establishments rely on workers without experience and are willing to train new employees. It's not enough to search for an entry-level job. To find the right job for you — and to increase your chances of scoring an interview — you have to employ some job search strategies. For example, did you know that Monday is the best day of the week to look for a job? Or that you should always schedule interviews for the morning? These tips and tricks will get you in the door and get you your first job.
Start your online job search by visiting the sites that focus on teen job opportunities. Searching Snagajob.com, for example, by type of position and location will generate a list of openings. There's also a list of national employers that hire part-time workers. Employers in fields like retail and hospitality often are very interested in hiring teens and are willing to provide training. Search by the category of employment you're interested in. This will generate some more leads. These types of employers often don't advertise, so check with the stores or restaurants in your town to see if they have openings.
You’ll need your social security card (not just your number) and a driver’s license passport or photo identification. Depending on your age, there may be requirements about what jobs you can, and cannot do. For example, if you're 15 you can only work 3 hours per day and a maximum of 18 hours per week. Depending on your state laws, you may need Working Papers (Employment/Age Certificate) before you can start a job. Check with your school’s guidance counselor about the information you’ll need.
Job searching isn't easy, especially when you don't have much experience or many skills. Keep trying and keep applying and you will find a job. Don’t apply at one place and wait for the phone to ring. Complete as many job applications as you can, and consider a variety of positions. The more you apply, the better chance you have of finding a job.
Good Luck Caleb

Hi Caleb,
I would consider the idea "easy," since money doesn't usually come easy. Maybe by easy, you mean easy to obtain? It would be great if you could come back and let us know some things, including:
1. What kinds of activities do you like to work on?
2. What kind of area do you live in? (rural/ country, suburbs, metropolitan)
3. What kind of time do you have available?
Let us know a bit more and we can give you better answers. With that said, here are some ideas:
1. Babysitting
2. Dog walking
3. Mowing lawns
4. Poop scoop (I know, not fun!)
5. House Cleaning
6. Run errands/ do misc. work for a local small business owner as a Personal Assistant
7. Fast food
8. Prep Cook
Once you figure out what type of work is available that you think is a good fit for you, find out how to write a resume well by doing a Google search for that - Resumes for High School Students - and then build some Interview skills with a Google search for that as well - Interview the STAR method for High School Students and see what you come up with.
Here's a link to an Indeed article: https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/finding-a-job/part-time-jobs-for-high-school-students that may help you as well.
I hope this helps.

If you are in college you can look for jobs on campus.
I have worked as a wait staff in college and a Teaching Assistant for a professor.
One of the major advantage is that they can adjust your work according to your classes.
