Exciting Job Ideas for Young Teens

By Seth Myers

Being a young teen is never easy. Sometimes you are treated as a child and sometimes you are treated as an adult. During this time period many teens begin to start looking for a job or ways to make some extra money. This is definitely an adult type activity and it is something that requires responsibility.

If you are a teenager who can sing, write, or paint you may be able to get a job that requires those skills. If you are trying to get your first job you will want to get something that is not too demanding where you can have some fun and perhaps do something that aligns with your skills. You will also want something that has some flexibility so that you can continue to do other activities as well.

Start with the people you know, professionals who may want to require your services. Ask your friends who are part of local organizations if they need someone to make or design a poster, sing at an event, and so on. If you naturally love to talk, you could offer to host your neighbors parties.

If you are a teen that is good with children you might be able to get a job helping out in a day car or as a part time tutor. If you are good at school you might be able to find other students whos parents are willing to pay you for tutoring their children.

Some teens have skills they might be able to market to others on their own and make money that way. They can charge for things like weeding gardens, babysitting, pet sitting and walking, and mowing lawns to earn some extra money. An enterprising teen might be able to line up enough clients to even earn enough money to make it equal to or better than a real job. The more things a teen can do and the more people they can find who might want their services would mean the more money they could make.

The Internet also provides some opportunities for teenagers that are good on computers. There is a market for designing websites, designing graphics and writing and you can often find people online willing to pay for those skills. The online world is a new way anybody can earn some extra money and teens can take advantage of it too if they are so inclined. Teenagers who show the most creativity with their skills and they way they market those skills will be the ones who have the best chance of finding jobs or making their own job.
