Alright well I'm 15/f & if this is helpful live in the midsouth area.
I turn 16 in about 8 months and I am trying to save up for a car.
I can't really get an official job like for example working at a clothes store for a few reasons but the top one is I am not 16. I know I could get a work permit but it is also hard to get hired when your 15. Anyway so 3 questions I am asking... 1) Are there any jobs I could more easily get without so much hassle for the employers? 2) What are some other things I could do & how would I get people to know about it? 3) How are some efficient ways I could save up?
Thanks! (link)
I know you want a "real" job, but babysitting is a fun and quick way to earn some cash. Lots of parents are happy to hire a 15 year old. Make up fliers and stuff and you will get lots of business. Offer to babysit for "parents night out" and remind the parents that they need time to themselves too!

If that isn't an option, try resale shops or thrift stores. They will usually hire someone under 16. I'm not sure how your area works, but here the McDonald's and other fast food restaurants hire a certain number of 15 year olds as long as they have a work permit. In order to work, you have to go through the hassle of getting a work permit. It's well worth it. Also, Six Flags (I don't know if you have one near you?) hires a LOT of 15 year olds. My friend's daughter just got hired there.

Good luck, and remember that there's babysitting, mowing lawns, dog walking, etc. if you can't get a "real" job.
