    I might hire a 15 year old to mow the lawn, do light house work, or maybe baby sitting.

    I'm 15 so I can deffinatly relate to you, but I'll be 16 here in a couple months!

    I wanted a job when I was like 14 so the word got around

    & I started babysitting!

    It's really nice, because it's enough ... and it's not full time.

    If you don't wanna babysit then maybe watch pets since a lot of people vacation during summer?

    Walk dogs?

    Mow yards?

    My friend is getting paid by a lady to clean her house a couple days a week!

    I don't see why not. It really does depend on the person does and what experience they have. I work at the pet shelter and i'm only 15. I actually started when i was 14, and i get a good salary. My friends had jobs like bussing at a restaurant and janitorial work. It would also depend on the environment. Let's say you wanted to deliver flowers or newspaper and you were only 15. You'd probably have to be in a small town and a bike because most 15 year olds don't drive.

    You could probably work at an ice cream place or something.
