which is good because by the time you're 14 you can get a job pretty easily and there's no need for anybody to spoil you anymore.

Mow lawns, paint houses, any sort of labor is usually relatively available to any who want to partake. I made good bank back in the day mowing old people's lawns.

During the season if you can tune. You can set up a little tuning buiisness I did that and made like 500 bucks. 

You get a job at most supermarkets cept where I live you have to be 15- 8months to work without parnets supervision. Any small buisness could probably hire you.

Good Luck. Yeah my parents made me get a job at 15 too. But then you get the satisfaction from supporting yourslef and you learn thevalue of money and respobsibilty.

haha shit, mine too

yeah i had a friend who worked at mcdonalds and he quit, he said they didn't let him wear gloves or something so he got burned constantly and it was miserable. i made money helping at my ski shop, just be persistent and ask like 100 times, i was a counselor at a mtb camp and made a lot but it's not really camp season, you could always be a bagger at a grocery store, not high pay but you make something

This previous summer i was 14 years old and worked as a bus boy in a resturant up on lake george and I made soooooo much money for my age. I got paid like 5 dollars an hour but i got 10 % of all of the waitors and waitresses tips so i made like ver $1700 this summer....and at some places you can get paid up to like 7.50$ an hour and 10% of the waitors tips in NY so yea...you should do that.

And if you become friends with the waitors and are nice to them and cool with them they hook you up huge each night i made like anywhere from $50-$90 a night in tips so its amazing money

i know your a guy and you are gonna think im crazy...but here me out....

babysit. i dont mean for like infants....but i know there are alot of people out there who look for guys to babysit their kids because they want them to have more male role models. see if you can find a family that needs help after school and/or on the weekends with like boys 4 and up, then you dont have to do diapers, you can play fun games like baseball, basketball, soccer, and hockey with them. and you can get them into skiing.

im a daycare teacher, but i also babysit and i have 2 kids i have been watching for 4 years now, they are 6 and 4 now, but i brin over my ski stuff and they put it on and jump around on the grass and try and do 180s and grabs and stuff....they know them all! its fun and you get paid under the table!
