However, we know that you are not going to find a real job, you just want a job for pocket money. Well, the following jobs will be good choice for you, all of them are hourly kids jobs.

Handwriting Job

If you have good handwriting and want to take advantage of that, you can find a handwriting related job and make extra money with it.

Birthday celebrations, wedding parties and other celebrations usually need handwritten invitations and thank you notes, you can find a job there. You can seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples, also you can find some information about elebrations in local newspaper, then call them and ask if they need handwriting service%uFF0C if they need the service you can send your handwritten invitation to them, to see if they are satisfied with your handwriting.

Movie Theater

Some teens at age 14/15 work at a local movie theater, such as AMC Theaters,Regal Cinemas. you can not only earn pocket money but also learn to communicate with others, as well, it's a very funny job.

Following jobs are available for you: usher, ticket taker, cleaning up, projectionist, customer service, food service and so on. Some like to clean up, beacuse it's easy. This sounds wierd, cause no one likes to clean up, but in reality when you're on clean up you're doing nothing at all like 80% of the time. All you do is clean a theatre when a show ends.

Teen Writer

How to start? You can try to start out writing for your school paper (articles, opinions or short stories). You could also try submitting to local writers' club anthologies & teen magazines often have a reader submissions section for poems, short stories, etc. These won't be paying jobs, but they might get you noticed. Also, if you are good at basic copywriting & layout, you can get people to pay you to prep their resumes. You'd be surprised how many people can't manage that on their own.

Camp Counselor

For getting a job as a camp counselor, you can try your local YMCA.They may still have openings for summer counselors or assistants. Otherwise, go to your neighborhood boys and girls club. It helps to have those certifications and some do require CPR.

Recycling

If you don't mind,you can get money for recycling. One of my friends used to get his gas money by collecting bottles and cans all over Southern California and turning them in for cash.He used to get money for newspapers, too.

To promote recycling, you will pay 5-10 cents for each bottle or can you buy, and can redeem your money if you turn it in to a recycling place. If you return every can or bottle you use, you will break out even. But, if you return extra bottles and cans you find in public places, you can actually make a pretty good profit.

Be a Tutor

If you have a good understanding of one subject, you can find a job as a tutor.Try go to your local youth center. Many youth centers pay tutors for math, English, History and Science in their after-school programs.

If you'd like,ask your counselor at school if they pay tutors for after-school programs at your school.

Also, you can advertise on your own and once you get a following the word of mouth referrals will start coming in quickly. You should dvertise your offer in places where parents will see the advertisement. The parents are your clients.
