...making money because as most of you already know i am only 13 and it would be hard for me to make money. I could do so many un-personal stuff with it like get my dog up to date on shots, buy my dog some new toys because she only has two, help pay for bills, and i could go on and on. PLUS save money for when i need to take my dog to the vet during emergences. I am out for summer so take that into consideration.

I get like all of my money from petsitting and babysitting

reggie, i do remember what it was like to depend on my mom for rides when i was in junior high and high school to go for a job. and now knowing why your mom likes you close to home makes sense. keep your eyes open, tell the adults in your church/school/dads and moms friends that you're looking and something will turn up, it might take awhile, but telling people you want to work will make you stand out. kind regards, joyce

Since your doing this to pay for vet bills and stuff why not volunteer at the vet cleaning out cages and stuff since your 13 and not many people can pay you but they can maybe exchange your working for them in free check ups and shots or something.

That's a good idea. Mabey you should call them when they're open and find out.

Call your local town town clerk's office. See if she knows any programs for kids your age. You could read to seniors who are blind or have trouble seeing. You could also be a surrogate grandkid for the day. Go visit the veterans at the local VA Hospital. The stories they have will blow your mind!!

If you have a pet, you might want to think about pet therapy. I got such joy out of watching the smiles on people's faces when they saw MooShoo. People LOVE animals and helps their whole outlook.

Good luck! I'm sure you'll find your niche'. Please keep us posted.

Also - I think LH mentioned it in your driver thread - SO many people will call you for basic help/instruction with their computers! If you can do minor "repairs" like defrags, disk cleanup - so many people do not maintain their systems - you would have some money! You don't want to over charge because you are "new" - but ask your folks what they would suggest. If you charge too little, that's not good either.

Make a list of what computer services you can provide. You might want to price them individually, or charge by the hour.

I think you'd be great at this!

(And if you get stuck, you can always ask here! )

Whadya think?

I like the ideas about the volunteering at the vets office, pet therapy, and computer person. I can also do "actual" repairs on a computer like repairing a malrunctioning device or upgrading memory.
