What Do Young Teens Do For Jobs?

By Suzy Peterson

At what age do most kids start looking for jobs? A common age that kids start thinking about acquiring extra spending money and getting a job is probably around the 15 to 16 year old age. What then, do you do if you have an exceptional teen that is highly motivated and younger than that? If you are looking for jobs for 13 year olds or 14 year olds, most companies wont hire someone so young. This leaves that age group out in the cold when it comes to earning extra money.

This may not necessarily be a bad thing though because it forces someone that young to come up with some of his or her own money making ideas. This is how the entrepreneurial spirit is born and a 13 year old who is able to come up with some ideas on his own to make money will gain confidence that will last him the rest of his life.

A young child that is made to be creative and come up with some money making ideas of their own will probably benefit from the experience in the long run. An entrepreneurial spirit will emerge in some of these children that will serve them well when they get older. It will also force them to get out of the house and try to discover things they can do or talents that they have that can be turned into a job that makes money.

When kids grow to an age where they are interested in starting to make money, it is best to supply them with fun money making ideas. This is because at a young age you want kids to learn how to work and be responsible but not have it be a negative experience. Kids need to have fun and learn at the same time. That is why most parents start their kids out with a lemonade stand or something along those lines. As kids grow into teens, they often have car washes to raise money for a certain cause and they have fun doing that. It is important for kids and teens to have fun while they are young and learn values at the same time.

For those teenagers that are hoping to get jobs from real companies this summer, hopefully they have gone out and done some networking first. This summer is shaping up to be an awful one for job seekers and those teens that started the job hunt early will undoubtedly be the ones to get the jobs. For those that find themselves without jobs, it will be a good time to see if they can come up with some creative money making ideas of their own.
