Bridget’s Answer

Hi Bryan! I would suggest trying to get a part time job somewhere close to your school or home that you could easily walk or take public transit to so you are not always relying on someone else to get you to your shift. When I was in high school I worked at a small family owned business in my community, I found that they usually pay a bit better than a big corporation and I really felt cared about and taken care of by my boss and coworkers. However you may find that smaller family owned businesses have less employees and less flexibility with scheduling. If you need a place with more flexibility I would consider working at a place owned by a larger corporation, like a fast food restaurant or chain store (ex. Target or Walmart). You may find that because these places typically employ a lot of people, it is easier to tailor your schedule around school or family obligations. Other benefit would be that if you end up moving for college or something like that, you may be able to transfer to another location near by and keep your job. If you feel like you're maybe not ready to get a job like the ones I have suggested, maybe ask around the your community and see if anyone needs help with odd jobs like moving furniture, mowing lawns, childcare, or cleaning. I wish you the best of luck trying to find a way to make some money!

Terrell’s Answer

There's nothing wrong with wanting to add money to your pockets. I think working as a teen builds character and work ethic. Here are a few suggestions:
~ Start by asking those close to you if they have any odd jobs you can tackle for them for a fee
~ Your community (walking a dog, mowing lawns, raking leaves)
~ Local stores and restaurants
~ Charge for your skills (ex. If you are great at graphics, charge a fee for making designs)
~ Talk to your counselor at school to see if they have any suggestions
~ Wash cars for less than a car wash

I think you get the picture. Make sure you are not keeping your willingness to work a secret. Let everyone know.
