Babysitting? Walking dogs?

Basically just do what Elysium said. You can do stuff around the house to get an allowance.

You can work under the table. Which means you don't get an actual paycheck you get cash and the government doesn't know you work and you don't get and taxes taken out either

Prostitution gets you good pay, but I doubt anyone would do that by their own will. You can wash cars, walk dogs, train someone, mug someone, help at farms, make and sell a video game, and much more.

I agree with Elysium, babysitting or walking dogs are good choices.

Summer is coming around, so mowing yards is an option. I know one friend of mine that mows around six yards a week and paid for his own Lebron James shoes after two weeks.

May be you can work at a library or something..sort books and stuff.

I know in the states (at least where I live) you can apply for a worker's permit at the age of 14 and I know some people that have worked in our town's library for pay.

I need to buy a lot of my own clothes, shoes and makeup, and I pay for my own gifts, so I need to buy presents for all of my close friends on their birthdays, my parents and for 5 brothers. I also have Christmas to think about.

If you want a good income, you can go around to local shops, not big stores, but shops, and ask if there are positions available to help clean up after school.

I have an after school job working at a little hair salon, and I'm 15 years old. I go there 3 days a week after school and work for 2 hours, so that's 6 hours/week. I get paid in cash, and make $9/hour. That adds up to 54 dollars/week, which is really amazing! I can buy everything I need with that. The work I have to do is cleaning, answering calls and scheduling appointments, and I also do some hair washing.

If you don't want that type of commitment, you can try babysitting, lawn mowing or dog walking, or you can offer to cook meals for some of your elderly neighbours a couple times a week. I used to do an old lady's gardening. One of my brothers shovels walkways in the winter, and he just turned 18. He goes every morning before school, and every day after school, except on weekends. I think he charges $200 for the entire winter, with an extra $100 or something if you want a morning car shovel included. He has time for 3-4 houses/year, which adds up. In the spring, he has a ton of money to his name.

Anyways, any job will take commitment, so don't think that you don't have to work for your money!

I was putting pamphlets in mailboxes. A guy who gave me the job paid me approximately 0.5 euo cents per pamphlet delivered. I delivered 4000 pamphlets and earned 20 euros. Of course, it was under the table. The phapmlets were about some pizza place.

Go out and find yourself a paper round at a corner shop or small shop, some rounds are light and well paid if not, well atleast you got money...
