Travel Info Where can a 14 year old find a job in san antonio? Travel Tips When I was your age they wouldn't let me go to work either, but there is a few things that you can do and make good money. I delivered News Papers and I also cut grass. It would only take two or three yards and you could make good money cutting grass. You need to do a good job that means that you cut, trim, edge, and pick up the trash. for this you can charge as much as $40 to $50 two of those would mean $80 to $100 a week and a third one would mean half again as much. There is another job that you can do find a few guys that want to drive a clean car but don't have the time to clean it, wash and vac. $10 to $12 . None of these require a permit and you are your own boss. Good luck Others You're not old enough to get a job other than babysitting or lawn mowing, etc. You would also need a work permit from your school and in most states the age is 15 1/2 before you can get one. If you do get a work permit you'll be limited on the number of hours you can work per week as well. With your parents. Put out flyers, that's what my kids did. Babysit, pet walk, pick up newspapers and mail while family is away on vacation or hot, hot, hot, mow lawns. You can also offer to wash cars and give flea baths for dogs. Be sure to include a phone #, but no name or address. Have them call and leave a message. Be sure to have a message recorder and have your parents check out the place. I was thinking to ask your school counselor to issue you a work permit,but I have a better idea. Have one of your parents take you to the nearest Alamo Worksource and ask for a Work Permit Application. Your parent(s) fill(s) this out with you info and mails it to Austin. www.workintexas.com its not legal for a 14 yr old to have a job. you are able to work at the typical first job in new braunfels at schlitterbahn when you turn 15, but until then, you are poop outta luck. Here is a short list of jobs which you can create to generate income: 1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item. 2. Become a "poser" who assists wedding photographers in setting and arranging various individuals in group and single photographic positions. "Posers" carry around a sketch book of various sitting and standing poses which consists of onion skin overlays of various wedding pictures bound in albums. Again, contact local wedding photographers and wedding planners, accordingly. The hourly pay is around $10-$12 per hour and you are often invited to attend all dining activities. 3. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor's equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour. 4. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour. 5. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel. 6. Become a proxy/stand-in for neighbors to allow delivery of goods and packages to your home/apartment. Acquire the authority to sign any receipt of incoming packages as an accepting neighbor. Charge $1 per each package handled by you. 7. Consider becoming a restaurant-cafe customer liaison by using your cell phone at restaurants-cafes to coordinate with the hostess to keep track of waiting customers. Whenever there's a very long period of time to activate a waiting list, you want to offer the restaurant your services so that customers do not have to stand around for any lengthy period of time. And when their name/assigned number comes up; you can call the upcoming customer's cell phone to tell them that they can return to the restaurant and be served. The call back fee is usually around $0.50 cents on a per head basis. For example, a couple would be charged $1.00 while children under 6 would not be charged. Placement of a plaque which outlines your fee schedule near the hostess station is sufficient to garner attention of prospective customers who will value your services since they can do other activities outside of the restaurant -- often beyond the range of any inhouse paging system. You realize that everyone has a cellphone and why not take advantage of the connectivity to make the diner's experience worthwhile. The restaurant will also appreciate the added service you are providing as a customer liaison. Good luck! |
