    The "where do you work if you are a minor thread"

    I was just wondering what kind of jobs all the other kids still in highschool have. So please post where you work and what you do. Also if you don't mind please post what you make and hour.

    I work in a hardware store and make 7.50 an hour. But now instead of having no money and all the time in the world to play paintball I have plenty of money and no time to play paintball .

      I'm 14 and I mow lawns? It's actually really good money, I average 75 bucks a day if I go from 8am to 12, hour break, and 1 to 8. Usually I'll make around 200 bucks a week. Ain't bad for 14. This is in the summer though, I don't do as much during the school year.

                  I used to make 10 an hr. umpiring baseball games, but usually only 1 a day for 2 hrs. Plus, You only do 1 every week or so, for 18 weeks in the summer. Usually, we got about 13-15 games each. It was terrible work though, even though it paid a lot.

                  Right now, I'm selling sandana's and loving it Already sold 10 and made about 85 bucks. Been doing it for like a week I plan to make other stuff like headbands and whatever other stuff I can think of.

                    I'm 16 and I work at an Ice Facility in Milwaukee. I usually work in skate rental handing out skates and make $6.50 an hour... Then I teach skating lessons on wednesdays, for $22 an hour... and during summer/ spring breaks, I help run Skating schools/camps for $8-9 an hour 40 hours a week...

                    not too bad, the skating school is definatly the best, the skate rental blows (boring) and the schools/camps are kinda fun with all the kids and stuff...

                        I work at Pizza Hut, and make 5.75 an hour.

                        I wash dishes, and sometimes cook.

                        I hate the job with a firey passion, and plan to quit as soon as I find a replacement.

                              Well, I cant say that Im totaly legal in everthing I do, this helps in makeing already inconsistant work, even more so...but when I do get work I do any of the following:

                              Computer Repair/Upgrade/Custom Built Machines: 10(family=less then 10, genrally free)-65 Hour or a persentage of parts cost over cost of parts(Im flexible)

                              Web Solutions(Site Design/Matinence/etc) on the low end 50 bucks for a design, on the high, 350 for design/12 Major update package

                              Network Security Consulting/Penitration Testing: 30-75/hr...have had all of two jobs relating to this, one I simply had software/a year account on the site, which wasnt a bad deal at all

                              Massage Threropy/Non Theroputic Massage: .50-2.50/min I genrally dont get paid for a lot of this, though I have had a few decent paying clients, again, when I get licenced this will change

                              Im also a freelance writer(currently featured at whatispaintball.com(in a site redesign, totally unrelated to me however) and Point of Action Magizine out of Canada) novice digital photographer(currently nothing out of this, but enjoyment, but hey, gotta start somewere), so far Im just working on getting my name out there, though it has lead to a full pack sponsorship and the following job as a sales rep

                              Sales Rep/Promotions for Diatribe Paintball(currently doing handmade packs), pays commission

                              Also your basic odd jobs (lawn/tree/moving/etc)


                              again, all very inconsistant, though its nice when it does pay..namely the high end of it all...
