You.No one wants a 13 year old photographer,and it's not legal to hire one anyway.With that said...
Continue to take your camera everywhere,and don't get rid of a SINGLE photo.Lump all of the good ones together and get a portfolio started.Once you get into high school,do NOT pass up the opportunity to take a photography course if it's offered.By then you should know if this is really something that you want to do.If it is,then keep taking those photography classes.
Also,remember that there are HUNDREDS if not thousands of kids like you,so simple pictures aren't going to cut it.Always remember to think outside of the box and if you've seen it more than once or you have a feeling that it just seems too typical...don't do it.Make every picture that you take an award winning one.
If you really want this,the best thing to do is start following those guidelines right now.By your sophomore year there's no possible way that you won't have at least a few respectable pictures,and after you take classes everything will just get better from there.Remember that it's an extremely competitive field of work and you have to constantly strive to be the best of the best.Since you're young you have all the time in the world to set yourself up for an amazing career.
Good luck :)

It's great that you're so driven, but there's tons of people like you. For now, you should start making a portfolio. Make a great album of all of your pictures, and take photography classes once you get into high school. You can try going to the local newspapers and showing them your pictures. You can also send in your pictures to photography contests (check your newspaper, magazines, etc) and try to win money.
Good luck! =)

Um, if you're 13 I hightly doubt you'll be able to get a job like that anytime soon. Photography people like older people who are more advanced in photography. And even as helping photographers would require you to be a little older since photographers tend to be very snippy with their work (as do most artists).
You may want to wait until you're 15 or 16 at least. The only job I know you would be able to take are fast food : /
Sorry.
