I'm 16 years old and I seriously need a job. I worked at Target over the summer and retail is...just definitley not my thing. Are there any jobs you can suggest where I can make money, but don't involve retail? Also, what are some good ways to make LOTS of money?

not_the_smart_mark answered Tuesday January 18 2005, 1:43 pm: As a 16 year old, most places won't let you wait tables (they either hold out for 18 or 21 even so you can serve liquor), but you should be able to find a place or two that will allow you to apply for busing tables.
Grocery stores are a standby, but it's mostly retail unless you're male, in which case you may find yourself doing gruntwork in the back room, and anyway the pay isn't good at all.
If you live in a subdivision or other fancy schmansy housind district, see if the district clubhouse (or golf course) has any open spots - it'll be close to home and probably a relatively easy job.

For after scool, at night whenever. You could make $10 dollars an hour and it's tax free. (Assuming you are not doing drugs, alcohol, etc.) [ Allie1's advice column | Ask Allie1 A Question ]

They'll give you enough hours because they never have enough people working, so you can take a lot of shifts (my work is like that :( )but honestly, there's not many places you could work at and get a LOT of money because your only 16. Best thing to do stay in school!!! That will lead you to goooood money. *goodluck* [ AnGeLtHuGsTa's advice column | Ask AnGeLtHuGsTa A Question ]
lildiamyn_69 answered Monday January 17 2005, 9:05 pm: well, my favorite would be hair. Do you know how to braid or do beautiful styles? You could color hair and everything. That's the only good thing I have now. Sorry. But I hope I helped any. [ lildiamyn_69's advice column | Ask lildiamyn_69 A Question ]
