When I was about your age, Cal, I used to clean windows around town. There's not much equipment required (and many would provide the necessaries anyway). If you're conscientious enough you'll also get that sense of pride at a job well done.
I also used to caddy at the local golf club and, after the round, I'd go and find lost balls and flog them to the pro-shop (good money in that one - I'd often earn three or four times what I was paid to caddy). You will find that there are 'hot spots' where you'll find the majority of your booty, but only experience will tell you where they are.
Good luck, mate. It's nice to see a young'n willing to get out and earn spending money.

Work on the back of a pork scratching oven, I did that as a summer job in my younger years at Red Mill snack foods up at Wingates, got home each evening smelling of rendered pig fat, was the worse job I have ever had in my life..... nearly put me off pork scratchings too!!

Hi Cal - this is second time you used this phrase which confused me. Are you saying you are really good with a computer, or really bad?cal wrote:Thanks for your suggestions even if they wern't intended that way. Many employers don't hire children as young as me because of health and safety ... computer illeritate being I can type relatively fast and do many processing tasks.. making booklets, sending and writing letters, doing errands etc.
