Teenagers aged 13 and 14 will not find many job opportunities available to them. Most companies don't consider hiring people that young so don't usually have any openings suited for teenagers. Children just entering their teen years will usually offer neighbors a helping hand to earn a little extra money on their own.
Kids often start out babysitting and doing yard work like weeding or maybe mowing lawns. The more creative the child is, the more options he or she will come up with. Pet walking, car washing, and running errands are a couple of other things they might do. No matter what though, it is hard for kids that age to earn a steady income over the summer or whenever they need it.
By the time kids reach their middle teenage years, employers are a little more likely to hire them. Summer jobs for 15 and 16 year olds can be found because when kids reach that age they become a little more responsible and reliable. That doesn't mean though, that there are a lot of jobs out there for kids that age. Usually they are in places like the malls and movie theaters where they can do things that are not that demanding. Most jobs for teenagers will only pay minimum wage but it does give the child some much needed work experience so that they can put it on their resume.
Another option for teenagers is to try to make some extra money online. While there aren't really any real online jobs for teens, it doesn't mean that they can't start learning how to make some extra pocket money. Teens learn new stuff very quickly and especially anything to do with technology and computers.
It's hard to find the right information to earn money online, but teens have the same opportunity as anyone and will work just as hard to succeed. Because no one can guarantee the economy will get better soon, it's a good idea for a teen to begin their job search now rather than waiting for the right job to come along. Teenagers with enterprising skills will succeed in just about anything, even if it's an Internet money maker.
