Ways for a 16 year old to make money? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

ucla1ove3 · 12-08-2008, 07:59 PM

I am wondering how you guys would suggest a 16 year old, such as myself, could make approx. $2000 dollars in the next six months?

Suggestions that you guys did when you were younger and such are welcomed

Background info:
I will be getting a part time job after the first three months(that's when soccer goes into off-season). I do and always have had a strong drive when it comes to certain incentives, such as money

Doing stuff for my parents is not an option because they are not willing to pay me for chores and stuff along those lines, and rightfully so in my eyes. In the first three months, my time is rather limited but your suggestions are still welcomed.

Thanks for your Feedback!

ucla1ove3 · 12-08-2008, 08:09 PM

Do something where you can get tips. That way, if you are good you can get extra cash. Waiting tables, caddy, etc.

well just working around school and not really working full time it's hard to tell you exactly what I'm making...but even working part time I would easily make 2000 in six months....really probably about 4 months or so...but I've been cut from my job for Jan and Feb.

Sizzox · 12-08-2008, 08:27 PM

TonytheTiger · 12-08-2008, 08:31 PM

ohh. by the way go to a church and ask them if they need some help around. I worked at a church when i was 15 for about 3 months.

??? that's when people can start working at my course...as long as you have a driver's license...you can clean the carts or pick up the range balls....I work for turf care now but I have been there for over two and a half years...

another suggestion: my brother just turned 16 & he got a job cleaning/busing tables at CiCi's Pizza (pizza buffet place)

ucla1ove3 · 12-08-2008, 10:20 PM

i would do the raking leaves, but my entire city is made of different sudbivisions and there are about three gardening companies who are provided by the homemakers that go around and clean up everyones yard free...

Golf course is a really good idea. Depending on where you live I can suggest a couple courses that will probably hire you. Also lawn care is always a big one. Yes its "winter" but here people water there lawns year round and there is always weeds to be picked in peoples yards. And you will be very surprised at the number of people who will hire you because your a young person trying to be productive.
