Default Good Jobs for young ppl?

I still havent found a job since i moved and i'm starting to spaz b/c the mod money i got is being spent very quickly for bills and maintanence.

So yeah, i'm 16 and spend alot of time after school on hw, so i'm looking for 2 weekday shifts and 2 weekdend shifts. $8/hr at absolute least but i'd rather be lookin at mininum wage plus tips or $10+/hr

anyone know of any place that i could work? any restaurant chain you've had good luck with? It doesnt matter how hard the job is, the harder the better

My brother did landscaping that young, you might give that a try, since "working hard" is not a problem. He made very good money doing that on the weekends.

GM is going to be looking for a new CEO soon. You are more than qualified.

if harder is better...do some manual labor...landscaping, construction, demo, etc...that's good work for part timers too because the bosses are usually more flexible with hours...just remember if you go that route, you have to work your *** off or you won't get called back for work.

Learn to shoe horses if you can. I got a friend that does them for between $120 and $250 a horse. He did 6 yesterday alone.

If that fails, try small businesses, they usually tend to pay better than big chain stores and will be more flexible. I started at $8/hr with no previous experience, and two months later I am making $9/hr

Yeah i've bussed at two 4-star restaurants, which experience in that is important when it comes to this type of bussing i made an average of $14-$16 an hour after tips and taxes. and that was not easy work. Thats where my car came from

Manual Labor eh? so how much does a normal landscaper pay? I'd be willing to do that but i'd have a hard time finding a company who would hire a 16 year old. that kind of stuff is usually for people with connections you know? I'll check the newspaper. thanks for the help.

If anyone has worked as a busser in any expensive chain restaurants that can tell me what kind of money you made, let me know. And if anyone knows a chain restaurant that doesnt serve alcohol, let me know about that too. i can be a waiter unless they serve alcohol since i'm 16.
