What jobs can a 13 year old do ?

[breakingbad27]

I dont wanna hear anything like newspaper boy, dog walking, basically things that seem to have no sense of pride or interest. i want to do something thats a little bit more respected. Do you get my drift ?

Besides those and lawn mowing, I doubt there's much/anything. Some jobs you can be as young as 16, but nowadays many are 18+

If your parents hold a job you see as "respectable" and it's something you could do(or something else within their company), see if they can ask their bosses/HR department if you can do anything.

That's what happened with me, although that was last year, so I was 15.

That's not entirely true. I got a Job at McDonald's literally a month after I turned 15.

OP, your options other than the ones you don't wanna hear are lawn mowing and Shoveling/snow blowing snow off of drive ways if there is a winter where you live. You could also sell stuff you make. I am really good at Duct Tape wallets and was when I was a 13 year old. I sold them for 5 bucks out of my locker in 7th grade.

Or babysitting, if you're responsible enough. Of course, that would have to start off as a family only thing though, since most people nowadays won't trust a 15 year old kid with their own.

I don't know why you seem to think dog walking means there is no pride. Keep thinking like that and you'll stay broke, and those who aren't stuck up will be making that money lol.

At 13, there's not much you can do, child labor laws and all. Babysitting, lawn mowing, dog walking.

There are really not much besides the basics. At either 14 or 15, i know Cuvlers hires (if you have one near you)

[tovaris]

Non, you can work when you finished primary school, that is at the age 15. That is the law (here).

well in austria employees for official paid jobs must be 14 years upwards old.

In America, you can't get a "real" job until you're at least 15(?) and you need working papers to make sure you're not working too many hours per week. At 13, you need to work under-the-table jobs, the ones that you don't deem "respectable." You're only 13, you'll have your whole life to work a "real" job; for now, you're stuck with doing manual labor like mowing lawns.

Just some things I have done

Paint fences - sheds and garages.
garden tidies.
Unload deliveries at a few local stores.
wash cars.
dismantle scrap stuff - wash machines - machinery.
dog walk.
bin wash
fill shelves - sort empties at a bar.

I've made money testing a few videogames, but that is something that not everyone can do.

I took a red cross babysitting course and ended up getting a weekly mothers' helper job. I got paid $5 an hour for a 7 year old. I was 12 and worked 4 hours a week. This went for 11 months and then he turned 8 and got attitude and told his mom he didn't want a babysitter anymore.

When I was 15 I got a job at a local kids play centre & coffee shop joint together. The job basically involves clearing tables, doing dishes and supervising kids on the play equipment. It's not hard and loads of other 14-19 year old work there. I don't think any 13 year old work there but that might just be because none got past the interview I honestly don't know. But try places that don't open late like kids play centres, newsagents or similar.
