Jobs for Teenagers

Out of these 5, I’ve probably followed #2 the most. Just this past summer and the beginning of fall my neighbor had my brother and I mow his mother’s lawn and the lawn of the pastor next door to her for $5 each (soon raised to $6). Not a lot, but it was still money. Luckily this year I’m able to apply at Culver’s (minimum age is 14 :D )

These are very good tips. I am also 14 years old and I’m going to put some of these tips to use this summer. I have a lot of things I want to buy, and mowing my grandparent’s lawn once a month isn’t good enough. I’m thinking about asking at a local toy store, or a farm to pick strawberrys or whatever.

Wow, I love these tips, mostly because I can relate to them. If you can just tell yourself that you can do something then most likely you’ll be able to get out there and partake in most anything you set your mind to. Also, the examples given are very well written, especially for someone so young. Chris, It’s a good thing you posted this topic seeing that half your audience are between the ages of 11-16. Well, keep up the good work and good luck to everyone. Remember, staying active in your community can make a huge difference, even on the Pirillo network, so keep it up! :D

I will be getting my CCNA (cisco certified network associate) certification my junior year and i will get one other cisco certification next year. I have herd of other students at my school who have already completed the courses to get these certifications have gotten jobs testing routers. if you are in to doing this kind of work, i would look in to a job as a teenager doing work like this.

Wow, thanks Chris. I’m bookmarking these tips for my refrence, because i’m 13 myself. I’ll look into it :)

It is very true that if someone does not know that you are there willing and ready to work they won’t hire you. If you want work people need to know. I myself have been fortunate that I have held a job for 3 years but there are many people my age who do not have a job and can’t find work. Odd Jobs are a good way for them to make money and have some cash to spend its better than nothing.

I will differently take these tips in serious consideration. Also at the age of 14 you usually apply for a job at your local grocery store. You will probably be a bagger when you start ,but you can always take your time and go through the tanks.

I’m a teenager and these tips are very useful! I’ve probably followed 4/5 of these in total. :) I’m not one for “hard manual labor”. =P I’ve done it, I’m definitely more a cubical person. I’ll remember these though.

These are excellent, teenagers these days need to get off there butts and do some work. Especially if your getting paid.

I definitely did enjoy this segment. Me being 17, i am offered part time jobs at businesses being on payroll etc. But these tips are definitely true. Another great suggestion is Shoveling snow. Granted half of the Country doesn’t receive snow, the ones whom do could get out and shovel neighbors, or residents driveways for a few extra bucks, not to mention the exercise. For me their are many “aged” citizens in my neighborhood and until finding a steading job i used to go around shoveling their driveways. In the summer i used to visit the same residents and offer to cut their lawn. It would take me around 20 minutes to finish a driveway or lawn and on average id get around 20-30 dollars for that amount of time.
Even finding a steading job, the key is being there when they need it. You may recently put an App. in someplace, but if someone was on site when the owner would be looking for a job, they may have a better chance at receiving the job.
Of course i live in a small town, So we are not built on big business’s determined to find the right applicant.
Instead of spending your free time sitting around, you could use it for money. After a while you’ll notice that you’ve raised alot.

These are great tips. Number 3 is something I do a lot. I actually volunteer my whole summer out (literally). I volunteer with the Red Cross during Summer Fest and the rest of the summer I am staffing at a camp. But I have a normal job, too, along with the occasional babysitting gig and (with the appropriate weather) I do yard work and stuff. I pass out fliers every year at around the end of winter/beginning of spring so I am the first name in their head. Overall, it works out. I make quite a bit of money for somebody my age, and I can call it my own.

Thank You Chris I have shared this with my teenage brother and also to add on, like me I played golf so when I got old enough I worked at the golf course usally picking up balls or driving carts. But it has to be a job you like to do if you hate your job QUIT and get one that you like. Also Do NOT work if you are always late to work, you are not a morning type person or party day and night because most likely you will end up getting fired! Thank You Chris for this info and I hope some of mine helped as well, I love the show keep it up!

Thanks for the tips chris I got my first job right when i turned 16. And I will tellone of my friends to your website and tell him to look at this video because hes looking for a job.

Hello,

Many computer and high-tech companies often have intern positions available. While they may not provide much salary (or any, for that matter), they are a valuable way for students to get valuable job experience. If nothing is listed on their web site, just call and ask for their HR (personnel) department.

Interesting article. I’ve been looking for ways to get more money since I’m going to be buying another computer. I’ll probably bookmark these for later use.

Thank you very much for posting this. I was in fact just wondering at the time you posted this article/video how I can make money, because I am looking to raise money to buy an iPhone. Also, thanks to the writer who wrote you the e-mail. He/She deserves credit too! I will have to try some of these out, I just need to build up a lot of courage for these.

our minimum wage here in houston is 5.85 so stop bitching about 7.63 a hour i make 9 bucks an hour but damn some people here would love to make that kind of money

it’s impossible to have a goddamn job unless both of your parents sing a document that allows you to work,

if I can work, i would have done that before but no,……..

and i had 2 offers from house of blues for a trombone player but i need a whole jazz band to have the job ( which consist of 1 trumpet,trombone,drumer,guitaris,piano and sax)

and the second one was a solo trombonist

but no,…….. i need both of my parent’s signature

and anyway, there’s no snow here in vegas

good work

notepad.exe (wink,wink) lol…i use to do that…but every computer i fix always has zango installed on it lmao

These tips are very good. They are tips I will definitely use in finding a job. And the fact that he is fourteen is just inspirational. Thank you Chris, for posting this information.

i was in telemarketing to, sucks like hell

im not bitching at all, our minimum wage in vermont is higher because houses and things here are more expensive, sorry i am more high class than you, you little *****..

:X rofl

where i am, minimum wage is $8.00/hour

ive been wanting a job for quite some time now but im not able to get one since im underage.

however there are summer jobs for teens. here in san francisco there is a summer job program for teens going to or are in high school called MYEEP which stands for Mayor’s Youth Employment and Education Program. there are probably other programs like this in other citys

another option in san francisco is to get a permit to work from the san francisco unified school district, but this option is only for high schoolers who are 16 and above but this permit allows you to work on school days for a maximum of 4 hours per day. there probably are other things like this in other school disticts.
