i know at most places you can be a caddy. i believe they make min wage plus tips which isn't bad.

also mowing lawns doesn't pay badly


but other than that high paying jobs are hard to find until you are out of college

but doing something on your own like lawn care will pay more than like mcdonalds because you can set your own fee and you don't have to pay taxes

Mst jobs for 15-year-olds don't pay all that well but are great experience and look good on a resume. I would forget about handing out fliers and or a paper route. It's a pain in the butt to be honest with you.

You have to get up really early in the morning in all kinds of weather to deliver them whether you like it or not. Quite often you don't even recieve over $100.00 a paycheck off of fliers or small local papers.

It's not worth it but you can make great money if ou deliver daily papers but would need a license and a car. What can you do? I would go to your local movie theatre and ask to speak with the manager. Apply for some weekend shifts and see if they'll hire you.

You will get paid minimum wage however, you'll have access to free movies and the cash adds up over time if you have a saving's account and use only a bit of cash at a time. Also suitable are fast-food places like McDonald's as it's a safe enviornment and pays well provided you do 3-4 shifts shifts such as Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

If you are looking to make a killing try babysitting. People who babysit as you know are paid by the hour and can make 100-200 a night depending where and how long the parents stay out. If you have multiple clients than it really adds up.

Mind you, this is easier for a girl to get a job at than a guy but still don't allow it to stop you. Parents are often desperate for someone to mind their kids. If you post fliers (with permission) at the library and your school bulletin board you should be able to attract a ton of clients.
