It sounds like you might be too young to get a real job. Try asking to get paid for chores. If that does not work take a look at what you: A) are good at B) enjoy doing and C) see an opportunity to get paid doing.If you can find something that fits all three that s great. When I was young a popular way to make money was to help neighbors do yard work, shovel snow, mow a lawn or paint their houses. Asking your parents if they have any friends who could use help (even if it s just cleaning out a garage) is another great way to find people who will pay you. If doing work is not your thing you could always find or make items to sell on ebay. Don t be afraid to be creative, but make sure you don t get tempted into doing anything illegal or unethical. Bad decisions at a young age tend to have lasting unforeseen consequences.

How old are you? If you re not old enough to get a job, try cutting lawns, yardwork, walking dogs, babysitting, etc.
