    Lawn care...mow, rake leaves, weed gardens.

    Car wash...make a big sign and put up flyers.

    Dog grooming...you can come over to my house and give my dog Lacy a bath. : )

    Poo pick up...my friend actually has his own business, goes twice a week to each yard...charges $20 a week.

    At 15, you will probably not be able to get a job without a work-release permit signed by your parents. Here are some types of jobs that work well for your age:

    1. Bagger at the grocery store;

    2. Bus-boy at a restaurant;

    3. Delivering newspapers;

    4. Mowing lawns;

    5. Walking people's dogs;

    6. Washing cars;

    7. Babysitting.

    At your age, most jobs are going to include some type of manual labor. I hope you find a good job!

    First, there is a sad fact of life to learn -

    There really is NO "easy job to make good money" at any age, although people keep hoping.

    Perhaps, you could win the lottery or become star of a successful TV show - those don't look like hard work, but I've never worked on a TV show, so I could be wrong.

    I suspect that it takes a lot of work as well as a lot of luck to get a job on any TV show. And winning the lottery is not guaranteed - many people waste a lot of money on lottery tickets with nothing to show for it but an empty bank account.

    So, go out there and learn as much as you can. It's fun!

    Some easy places to get hired around here are farmsites that need hard labor. Can't say it's fun, but it will look good on your resumé. "Hard Worker," etc...

    Otherwise, a good place to get rich quick is restaurant you can get tips at. You might start in the back as a cook or dishwasher, but if you hint you want to be a server, you'll get lucky quicker.

    For 12 days working, some days 3 hours, some days five, I got 6.25$/hr PLUS 118.70 in tips. Yep. Definitely.

    You can only work in places where you are paid cash in hand where no record is kept about you. And yes, mostly the work is physical. I have seen this happening in front of me. Its good that at this age you want to work and earn some money.

    If you can't find any job, don't be depressed, start studying, get excellent marks and who knows you can get scholarship (so you don't have to pay for your higher education). BUT DON'T WASTE TIME. Time is precious than money.
