How to make money if your young?

[bercnan72]

I'm only 14 and I cannot get a job anywhere because of my age and child labor laws :( I want to make fast money. I thought about babysitting, how would I go about doing this? Or if you have any other ways I could make money?

ha, had the same problem when i was 14. you're right, at your age, there's not much to do when it comes to getting a job. you're gonna have to stick with the jobs round-the-hood like babysitting, mowing the lawn, shoveling snow, etc. my friend actually started a blog and she started earning money from that, which is pretty cool, but is not very easy.

at your age, you might want to focus more on your schoolwork. come 15, or 16, you'll be at a good age to start looking for a job. here's a tip, though: while you're not looking for a job right now, get some volunteer experience which you can later put on your resume when you're looking for a job.

Actually, Canada has not yet specified to the International Labor Organization, (convention 138) on minimum working age requirements. You are legally allowed to work, and places like McDonalds would most definitely be willing to hire you as long as you're a reputable kid with good references, a good interview and a nice resume :) ! I actually worked at Tim Hortons when I was 14 ! The only limitation would be if the place you're applying to has an age limitation and obviously you can't work a the liquor store/beer store/convenience store/waiter etc because you would need to be 19+ !

Good luck :D !!!
