More job ideas for teens-
Web design – If you are good at creating attractve, functional web pages reasonably quickly then you could find yourself employment designing web sites for people who need them. It is important to do this in a professional manner, so you need to have a set price guide (eg, $30 up front, $30 when the customer is satisfied with the website and $5 for each update you have to do on the site) To get started with this then you need to have a computer with the appropriate software. Also, you need to advertise with fliers around local businesses, a good website of your own and word of mouth.
Installing and fixing computers – If you are good at installing/putting together computers then this could be an ideal line of employment for you. Simply go round to the person's house, plug the computer in, show them how it works and you're away! You could also offer tuition for a per lesson rate ($5 a lesson etc) Another thing you could offer is to upgrade people's computers. They could pay you to source the components they need and do the installation. Most importantly though – you MUST know what you're doing. Nobody wants their new thousand dollar computer ruined by someone who doesn't really know how to put it together at all!

Teen Money Tips - Job ideas part 1
In this post I will cover a few job ideas that you could get started with. In future posts I will write about more jobs that you may be interested in.
1 - Working for parents - Do your parents own a business or have jobs you could do for them around the house? If so, ask if you could do some work for them. You could offer to do administrative tasks or do household chores so they don't have to worry about doing them.
2 - Getting a job in a department store or large retail outlet - If you do this then the pay is usually quite good for a part time job. Also, if you work for such a store you may be able to get an employee discount (sometimes around 30%) of purchases there. I even know of some companies that entitle you to a certain amount of free "stuff" each month!
3 - Swimming pool lifeguard - If you are a good swimmer (and are willing to possibly ressucitate people) then a job as a lifeguard could be quite good for you. This job really relies on swimming skills but if you get it you get paid, you may also get free access to the pool facilities and you may meet some cool people along the way!
