Earning money is a necessity for most teenagers today. Some teens are able to set up a part-time job with ease, but there are others who have difficulty looking for jobs that fit their schedule and their age. The question of “what jobs can you get at the age of 14” might seem intimidating, but do not worry. There are plenty of opportunities out there that are both profitable and legal.
You can get a job at the age of 14, and it’s easier than you think.
First, you need to start by finding out what your options are. You can do this by talking with your parents, looking at the classified section of your local newspaper, or even just asking around. Once you have an idea about what kinds of jobs are available to you, you should then decide if any of those jobs interest you.
Once you’ve decided what kind of job interests you, it’s time to start applying! If you’re applying for a restaurant or fast food job, then most likely they will want to see that you have experience working in a kitchen setting before allowing you to work there. If they don’t require experience then all they’ll need from you is proof that you can read, write and do basic math (which is probably something that your school has already tested for).
Now that we’ve covered what kind of jobs are available for teens and how to start applying for them let’s talk about how much money they make per hour. In general most teens who work full time make around $4-$6 per hour depending on their job and how much experience they have working in that industry.
What jobs can you get at the age of 14
Introduction
Congratulations! You’ve reached the age of 14. One of the great freedoms that comes with this milestone is being able to work for pay. The only issue is finding a job that’s appropriate for your age. That can be tough, especially if you don’t want to do the clichéd teenage jobs like mowing lawns or babysitting. Luckily, there are a lot of opportunities open to teenagers. Here are some of your options:
Babysitting
Babysitting is a great option for kids who want to make money, but it’s not the only one. If you’re an outgoing teen who has experience with children and families, babysitting could be just the right fit for you.
- Be responsible: Babysitters should always act in good faith and make sure that the children they watch are safe at all times.
- Be trustworthy: Parents trust their children to their care when they leave them with a babysitter, so they want to know that they can rely on them as well!
- Be patient: Kids don’t always do what we ask of them right away—and sometimes they don’t even know what we’re asking! A babysitter needs patience above all else because there will be plenty of times when things aren’t going according to plan! It helps if you’re willing (and able) go along with whatever plans kids have in mind while under your care; this might mean playing board games or video games instead of watching TV or having dinner together like usual—but it also means letting go if necessary so everyone can move forward in their own way later on too 🙂 .
Dog Walking or Pet-Sitting
Have you ever considered a career in dog walking? Think of all the benefits: no burdensome or expensive academic requirements, and an almost guaranteed paycheck. It’s like having your own business except you’re getting paid to do it!
If you’re looking into this as a serious career option, there are some things you’ll need to consider before making any big decisions. First off, there are two main types of dog walkers: those who walk dogs for other people and those who walk their own dog(s). If starting up your own business isn’t something that interests you right now but still want to stick with dogs for companionship and exercise, then working for someone else is probably the way to go.
The first thing on our list is finding clients! There are many ways this can be done online; however, if possible try advertising yourself locally through flyers at local animal shelters and pet stores or by word-of-mouth from friends and family members who might know someone looking for a reliable dog walker in their area. When advertising online make sure everyone knows exactly what type of service they will receive from talking about pricing upfront so there isn’t any confusion later down the road when payments aren’t being made correctly (or worse yet not received at all).
Once customers start coming in regularly then we recommend starting out slowly so there aren’t any problems between both parties involved.”
Tutoring
If you’re passionate about helping other people, tutoring is a great way to earn money. You can tutor students of any age or skill level in a subject that interests you. For example, if you love math but hate history, consider specializing in math (or second languages) as an after-school job! Tutors are also often asked to tutor online at home—it’s a flexible way to make money while staying active in your free time.
Lawn Mowing
Lawn mowing is a great way for teen entrepreneurs to make money. It can be done year-round and doesn’t require any special skills or training, so it’s easy to get started. You’ll also be able to set your own schedule—if you want to work during the summer months, but not in the winter, there’s no problem with that!
Here are some tips:
- Find clients by talking to people in your neighborhood or posting flyers at local businesses (for example, restaurants).
- Charge an hourly rate based on how much time it takes you each week to mow their lawns; this will vary depending on how big their yards are and what type of equipment they have available for you (e.g., weed whackers vs string trimmers). Be sure that both parties agree about what this arrangement will entail before signing anything official together—you don’t want any surprises later down the road!
- Market yourself through social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram; these sites allow users worldwide access while also providing tools necessary for personal branding such as accounts with “verified badges” indicating credibility as well as analytics which show how many times certain posts have been viewed thus far during today’s campaign period etcetera.”
Lemonade Stand
If you’re 14 years old, you can legally sell lemonade on the sidewalk in your neighborhood. To set up a lemonade stand, make sure the area is safe and free of litter. You’ll need to bring everything needed for your business: cups and straws, sugar and water (or powdered mixes), fruit slices or juice, coolers if it’s hot outside, signage that says “Lemonade $1” or whatever price you decide on. Your mom might have some lemons at home that she can use to make ice cubes with water; those would be perfect!
Once all of your supplies are organized neatly at your table or wherever else it’s best for business purposes (if there is no curb space available) then advertise! Post signs around the neighborhood announcing what time your stand will open and how much it costs per cup of sweetened refreshment. Keep track of money using an old-fashioned cash register; there are plenty of apps that can help keep track of sales too! And don’t forget about cleanup after each day—that’s how we earn repeat customers + keep things fair when new kids want their own stands down the street from ours one day 🙂
Camp Counselor-in-Training
Camp Counselor-in-Training
You’ll need to be at least 14 years old, and have a positive attitude. Depending on the camp you work at, you might also have to go through an interview process or get hired by word of mouth. If you want to work with children as a camp counselor-in-training, think about how much time you want to spend with them—you’ll want to make sure that your personality meshes well with theirs! A good way for teens who’ve never worked before is to volunteer first; this will give them experience and help make their resume look more professional once they get hired into one of these positions full time.
Grocery Store Bagger or Cashier
If you are under 16, most grocery stores will not allow you to work at their cash registers. However, they may hire you as a bagger or cashier if they have an opening.
This is a great job for teens who want to earn some extra money during the summertime or on weekends and holidays. It’s also a good way to get some experience in customer service before going into higher education or the real world.
The requirements for this position vary from store to store, but generally speaking:
- You must be able to lift heavy items and stand for long periods of time without sitting down (this can range anywhere from three hours up to six hours depending on your position)
- You’ll need good math skills because these jobs require counting money and making change consistently (don’t worry if you’re bad at math; there are many other types of work that won’t require these basic functions)
Many jobs are open to 14-year-olds.
There are many jobs that you can get at the age of 14. When choosing your first job, make sure to think about how much time and effort you want to put into your work. Consider what type of tasks you enjoy doing and whether or not those tasks will be enjoyable for others as well. This will help make sure that everyone stays happy!
Here are some jobs that are open to 14-year-olds:
- Working alone
- Working with others
- Working outside (i.e., mowing lawns)
- Working inside (i.e., babysitting)
- Work with children (i.e., babysitting)
Conclusion
Hopefully, we’ve gotten you more excited (and maybe a little less nervous) about embarking on a plant-based lifestyle. We know the struggle, and we came to these tips—even the one about watching badminton!—through our own trial and error. Remember that the important thing is to keep on trying. As we covered earlier, you don’t have to go super hard on yourself for slip-ups, because this journey can take time and looks different for everyone. Plus, don’t forget that the best way to keep yourself on track is to keep it fun, keep it positive, and keep yourself engaged with the people and the world around you. After all, caring about others is a great reason to switch to this lifestyle in the first place!
