I need some money for gifts and stuff and I need something to do over the summer. So what are some jobs I can do? I'm 13(m) and I would consider myself pretty strong(for physical labor if I'm aloud to do that kind of stuff with child labor laws). I want to get about $10 a week or more. What can I do? Also if any jobs hire at 13, I'm interested. Thanks in advance!

getting an actual job when you're 13, like the person below me said, is very difficult. i'm not aware of any places that hire that young.

What you would probably do best with is starting your own business; now that summer is full force, you can start mowing lawns in your neighbourhood. Charge $5 per lawn (front or back) and you're golden! [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]
