Summer jobs for 13 year olds!!!?

• where can a 12-13 year old get a job?? I'm a very fast typer, one of the smartest kids in my grade, and i am very responsible. i'm also in really good shape so if the job requires running around at all, i'm able to do that. i also don't really want to do babysitting or like mowing the lawn and bake sales and stuff. i live in CA by the way. also, someone suggested i work as a golf caddy. if anyone knows a website that offers jobs 2 13 year olds that is located near simi valley, plz send the link!!! thx for the help!!

• Answer:

  Well, you have a computer.. so check out some of the online jobs, such as letterrep.com or look in your search engine for cha cha guides.. the pay isn't great on those.. You could babysit, and you could go to a few garage sales.. buy stuff that people would like to buy..and resell for more on Ebay.. You could grow fruits or vegetables like watermelons and sale your produce. Go to a hobby shop and buy supplies to make candles or bracelets, and sell them either in a garage sale, along with other junk or online. If you had an adult to help you, you could look for scrap metal and cans to sell. You could try to contact your local Avon representative, and see if you could sell for them.. I don't know if they care about age.. If you are good at something such as playing an instrument or a sport, you could charge people for lessons.. just advertise in the thrifty nickel.. Just use your imagination, there aren't that many "normal" jobs for 13 year olds, but you have alot of possibilities. I was a volunteer when I was 15 for a church daycare center. Volunteer work is worth alot to your future, even though you don't get paid. Volunteering at hospitals, nursing homes, or delivering meals for S.N.A.P. are all things that you would be able to write down on your job application later in life.. so that way when you're 16 it won't be blank.. It would give you an edge. I like the idea of getting paid to do what you like though. Sorry that I'm not a 13 year old.. twice as old, but I hope you don't mind an old ladies ideas. I think it's cool that you actually care.. When I was 13, all I cared about was going swimming and vacation.. and mindlessly watching t.v. for hours on end.. so your off to a good start!! Good luck.
