Hi Senih, I recommend asking your parents if you can shadow what they do for work and also ask friend's parents about shadowing if possible. This is a great way to get an idea of the different fields and career paths you can enter. I would also see how you can help around your school. You can then carry this over and see if you can volunteer or intern at companies in different industries. Personally, my first job was in the service industry and this was/is a great way to build interpersonal skills that will serve you throughout your life. I then volunteered at a non-profit and that gave me further experience that I could speak to and share with others. I then led that into internships and then a full time role. At your stage now, exposure to the different paths available is the most important thing, and have fun. Good luck!

Hi Senih, I would say make sure the folks are okay with it. Then talk to them about helping you with maybe a babysitting gig or newspaper route. I think it would be a good start. It would teach you valuable skills such as. Being on time, staying on schedule, Following instructions, management, and focus. I think it's awesome by the way that you are looking to start this kind of responsibility. It says a lot about who you are as a person already. Keep up the good work.
