Where can I get a job (not a paper route)?

I am 14 and I live in Essex. Has anyone got any ideas where I can get a job? Not a paper round as they are very rare to get. Thank you.

Hi lennon!

A good answer was given by warlock for the same question:

Businesses that often employ teenagers include:

-Child care centers -Summer camps -Veterinary clinics -Restaurants -Fast food places -Newspapers (delivery routes) -Parks and pools (lifeguarding) -Golf courses (caddying) You can also make money without working for someone else. Start your own part-time business. Here are a few ideas:

-Tutor a fellow classmate in one of your best subjects -Babysit -Mow lawns in summer, shovel walks and driveways in winter -Pet sit for neighbors on vacation or walk dogs -Assist with gardening or lawn care (mowing, weeding) -Detail cars -Type school papers for other students -Clean houses -Use your computer expertise to help other students or adults -Be a mother’s helper or nanny for a busy mom -Plant a garden and sell your produce to neighbors -Sell baked goods to neighbors or at a local farmers market -Start your own DJ business -Be a mother’s helper or part-time nanny -Make baked goods and sell them at a local farmers’ market.

Type up a flyer about your services and distribute copies to houses in your neighborhood or surrounding area.

Well, this is a way to make money, though not a job. If you want, you can have a bake sale. I don’t mean bake some goodies, then open up something. What you can do is this: About a week or maybe more before you decide to have it, put signs near a main road that say the time and date you plan to have it, directing you into your neighborhood. You can post/distribute flyers too, but be prepared to sell lots, because you never know. Anyways, that just a little thing to get money.

Note: another way is to book a location at a local farmers market and sell stuff, as prkswllflwr said.
