Thank you for your question. I am not sure what you want to buy or you need money to support your study.
Firstly, you may need to distinguish what you need and what you want.
What you need is something essential to you, eg your meals, school fees, transportation, etc
What you want is something nice to have , eg jewellery, luxury goods, etc
Below are my suggestions:
1. If you have issues with your school fee, you can explore any scholarship, government loan, speak to your parents, etc
2. You can look for some part time jobs to work in your spare time, eg school librarian, super market, fast food shop, etc. However, pleas make sure the job is suitable for your age and safe.
3. Divide the money into 3 portions: 1. Pay for what you need 2. Saving 3. Spend on something you want
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

You can find some paid internships. Also, it's a good idea to apply for some beginner level jobs based on your age. You can also be a freelancer and make money online using your strengths and abilities.

1. If you have a passion for certain subjects or a strong understanding from your past school years, consider sharing your knowledge with younger students. Your expertise could make a significant difference in their learning journey.
2. Consider venturing into the car sales business. Show your dedication and potential by offering to work for free for a week. This could convince the store manager of your capabilities and open up new opportunities for you.
3. If you're skilled in programming, numerous online platforms like Upwork and Dribble offer a wealth of freelancing projects. Leverage these opportunities to showcase your skills and earn from your expertise.

There are many possibilities for income as a teenager. I always went the route of self employment like baby sitting, life guarding, camp counselor, or coaching lessons in sports or music, mowing lawns. Whatever you do, be careful to check out the credibility of job offers, make sure they are not get rich quick schemes or scams. Those are around for teens so please be careful. Understand manual labor may be a part of your first few jobs so don't shy away from that. My nephew and his friend learned how to trap wild hogs to take to the hunting camps for practice hunters. Another job I have seen teenagers perform is helping out at car dealers with car washing and odds and ends around a dealership.
That's fun if you like to be around cars. One summer I worked at an encampment up in the mountains. All of us worker bees had jobs during the day and at night there were all kinds of activities for us to join with the kids our age that were fun and safe. You are off to a good start by exploring ways to earn some money. Just remember to have good self care and that a good honest labor is a privilege. Best of luck to you, Semaj

As a teenager, you may have already noticed some limitations to obtaining certain jobs but there are some jobs you can occupy. Restaurants and grocery stores are industries that welcome teenagers and offer work hours after school. There may also be opportunities at daycares and even internships or paid internships in industries that may be related to what you want to study in college, if you intend in going to college. For example, you may be able to work an internship at a real estate office may offer an internship. You may be doing clerical work but working closely with someone in the field and that looks good on your resume.
