Searching for a job. . .
First of all, I am fifteen years old and will be getting my intermediate license in three months- therefore, I need to buy a car so that I won't have to ride the bus next year to school. In order to buy a car, I of course, need cash. The problem is- I can't find a job. Everywhere that I try to apply, the minimum age limit is sixteen. Does anyone have any ideas about what I could do for money? Please, no ideas including babysitting and cleaning- because I already do both of those. I would very much appreciate the advice, and I will give you a five for good advice.

If you were to ask me, driving to school can be a bad idea. The reason being is that there are more chances that a vehicle can be broken into, and more chances of getting into an accident in the school parking lot. That was how it was when I went to school. An of course, with gas at or near $3 a gallon, that can be pretty tough on you. What is it that you don't like about the bus? If you want to, you can check out my Advice Nators website.

What's so terrible about taking the bus? It's environmentally sound, much less expensive than car ownership, maintenance and fuel, and it's much more stress and responsibility free!
I'm 18 years old, and I don't have a car; I rode the bus to work, school and extracurriculars all throughout high school, and I'm still doing that in university!
If you're having trouble coming up with the money to buy a car, remember it's an ongoing expense, what with insurance, gas, and upkeep.

Your best option is to work for either your parents or your Aunt Betsy. Anyone in the family, because you can work under 16 for those jobs and still have enough hours to actually get money.
If not there, try looking for jobs a little out of town, the usually hire at younger ages, but you need to get like a bunch of forms signed. If those don't exist where you live, try local businesses that are like mainstream or nationwide businesses. Even still, legally you can't get many hours a week, so, you won't be making much money.
Third option, wait until you're 16

Is it possible you know anyone that can pay you under the table? Ask your parents if they could have any help what-so-ever at their jobs. Maybe ask your friends too, they might be able to help you out.
