Hiring Opportunities for 16 Year Old in Metro Atlanta?

Not so long ago, when you went to the local burger joint, it was teenagers working behind the counter, and at the burger grill. Now it is adults as old as their 70s, as many have lost their retirement savings. Currently, there are six individuals for every job. Adults trying to support themselves, as well as families, are taking any job they can, especially those that come with medical benefits. In deciding what to do, the teen has to think outside the box. They need to think beyond that of working in a store, or a burger joint. A teen needs to think about what tasks that need to be done, but people hate doing, even teenagers.

Regarding George's suggestion about pooper-scooping: some UGA graduates already started a business like this. A woman in my subdivision who fosters boxers, has them come weekly. (Your target market would be people who probably have multiple dogs and a fenced in yard for them to do their business.) On a different note, I periodically see "help wanted" signs posted in a myriad of places where I live in Cobb County: beauty parlors, Goodyear, Office Depot and more. With kids going back to school, there may indeed be openings that didn't exist a few weeks ago. I would hit all the strip malls, resume in hand, and see if anything gives. I'd also go back to those stores where you already applied. There's no saying they'll go back in their records to hire prior candidates when an opening comes up. In this tough economy being aggressive pays off.
