Jobs

So say you have a tiny allowance but you love to shop? (or you have a normal allowance but you REALLY like to shop, especially at expensive stores)
You need money.
Sadly, due to various government regulations, you can't get a normal teenage job like starbucks, crossroads, jamba juice, etc, until your 16, or 14 with a worker's permit. So what CAN you do?
Honestly, the first job most people get is babysitting. you tend to earn about 5 to 10 and hour babysitting, depending on who you're working for. An depending on who, that can be a great deal or a total ripoff. Some kids are angels. Some are demonchildren.
Another option that I myself have ventured into at late has been tutoring. Of course, as an eighth grader, there's a limited amount of kids I can actually help. So at the moment I'm tutoring a very sweet 4th grader. It's a lot more interesting than babysitting, the homework I'm helping with is extremeley easy, and good times are had by all. And it pays rather well, too. Note*I would not recommend tutoring if you yourself get bad grades. That's just hypocritical. ~M
