So this summer i want to get a job. I was looking for a part time job because i will be skiing timberline in the summer to. Im only 14 so i understand there might not be many for me to do out there. Is there anything you could recommend to me for making some money, i just want some more money so i could buy more stuff, such as two pairs of skis and stuff, road trips with my friends.
What should i do?
What do you guys do for an easy first job?

My cousin who is 16 to needs one.
So please help me in anyway possible
Thanks

manual labor. or fast food. at 14, those are pretty much your options. i dunno where you live, but the young kids where i live get jobs picking fruit, or mowing lawns or the like.

I kinda grew up in around a farming community. Anyone who was under 15 or 16 their only chance of getting work was doing stuff like corn husking. Shitty job, but money is money.

cover your ground. print out tones of resumes and just seriously apply everywhere. even if u know u have a shitty chance of getting a job. in my area theres like 6 tim hortons alone, meaning 6 chances of getting a call from one of them, pretty good chance. so do that with mcdonalds, wendys, everywhere

If you can find a friends dad who works/owns construction, landscaping, painting, something like that, get in on it.  Usually under the table and you generally make more per hour  (12 compared to 8 is a rough estimate).  Or just offer to cut grass around your neighborhood, I made almost $40/hr doing that last year.

Cutting grass is sooooo legit. Especially if you can find a nicer neighborhood to do it in. People will pay you like $20 for 30 minutes of work. It's great money.
