Basically, I need money to fund for an editing computer I'm making myself and I'm not a little bitch that tries to scrounge money of their parents. What jobs do you think I could do before I'm 16?

Inb4 lemonade stand, prostitute etc...
 
Where do you live? If you have a rural area with farms nearby I would cruise around there and try to find a job. A lot of jobs require you to be 16, but as far as I know, farms don't have the same restrictions that a lot of other businesses have. That's what I did when I was 14-16 ish.
 
get a job busing tables. The hours might suck but you can probably make all of your money under the table and it will be a pretty solid amount after tips.
 
mow lawns, babysit, dog/cat sit, or tell your parents you'll do work around the house for money
 
Landscaping. I have a family friend that pays me well to work for his landscaping company. You learn a lot, get paid, and get muscle
 
Just do odd jobs around your neighborhood and make some cash. But enjoy your last summer before you have to get a job. Unless youre doing something you actually like, working in the summer sucks
 
ask ask ask

it is hard to get a job without asking. talking to a local friend who has a local business? ask if they need help. any store you go to - ask if they're hiring. etc

 
i used to clean bricks when i was 15, shitty as hell but made good money ....also fun was that i didn't get paid by the hour but by the brick, so the more efficient i worked the faster i made money, i really liked it actually ....
 
I am 16, but my brother hooked me up with a job at 15 at Big Y bagging groceries... and bitches. You are legally allowed to work even at 14 in CT with restricted hours. Try to find good connects and if worst comes to worst, spin faster.
 
Mowing lawns will likely be the most money you can make. But it is hard work.

I started working at 14 in a fast food restaurant. You can get lots of hours and if you're working with the right group of people it can be a lot of fun.
 
I started working at a local movie theater when I was that young. Epic job just enough money to pay for the things that I want, and free movies/popcorn/pop. You gotta go small though... no cineplex odeon or AMC shit. If you work the big places you might as well be working at Mcdicks.
 
start officiating pretty much any sport.

the initial training/equipment can be expensive, but its a great skill with TAX FREE income that you can partake in pretty much till the day you die.

i cant speak highly enough of reffing hockey.
 
People who go on trips and dont feel like paying a kennel to watch your cat....

Nevermind cats can live elongated periods of time with no food, or water.
 
its a cat...

give it a can of food and a piece of string.

itll do cat like shit the whole time and not even notice youre gone.
 
Before you drop a large portion on money on a editing program, check it Pirate bay has it
 
my local grocery store, wegmans, hires at 15, you can only work x amount of hours per week though, can't remember how many it was exactly

so if you're in the northeast, check out wegmans

 
I used to be really into those websites where you do random stuff and get paid ridiculously low amounts. I made like $250 on a website called Swagbucks but it took forever and wasn't worth my time.

One thing you could try is buying stuff cheap on ebay then selling it for slightly more.
 
or work as a cartboy there, its decent money

mowing lawns and doing dishes definitely works, thats what im doing to save for filthy riches
 
Push crystal

Become pimp

Work at nearest farm

Become the middle man for selling bud. Suprisingly enough, this would not be too hard to find, good pay, and nobody would suspect a 15 year old.
 
caddying is too nice i get $40 to $80 per round and free balls and tees. and if you golf you learn a lot from the better golfers that you work for
 
i think when i was 16 i was refereeing childrens soccer and some baseball games.

shit was actually awesome. i was at the park a lot anyway cause i played myself during the later games, it just gave me a reason to go a couple hours early and pocket like $30-40 a couple times a week.

 
I'm pretty sure most grocery stores hire at age 14. I know at the one I work at, anyone under 16 can only work on weekends, not their rule but a legal thing. They pretty much just hire almost anyone, but don't get excited, it sucks major dick.

Also in the winter, try your local mountain. I know mine hires instructors as young as about 14. It's probably a rarity that a mountain will hire instructors that young, but it's worth a shot
 
Legitimately one of the only jobs I can think of for a 15 year old. You may have to wait awhile on that computer, OP.
 
I saw something about sneaker resellers once where they looked at all the different logistics of reselling a sneaker. They highlighted the process starting at buying the product, shipping it to your house, setting up an ebay auction, waiting 7 days, sending it, then receiving the money. They ended up making lower than minimum wage.

More than likely if you do this, you will waste time, lose money, and not allow the people who want to keep and use a product for their personal use to do so.
 
BE A LIFEGUARD!

it's fairly easy, good pay, and it's always good to know CPR and basic first aid
 
It's a little harder getting a job at that age. See if one of your friends or your parents can help you out. I worked at a marina when I was 15. My buddy was working there so he put in a good word for me and his mom worked at the locks nearby so he already knew the manager.

 
At that age, most people who I knew that had jobs were working in supermarkets or restaurants and enjoyed it.

Go with whatever you can find though, working is great not just for the money but also for experience and networking.
 
Wait, you're in the UK? In that case, your options are pretty much limited to paper round and/or fast food place (local chicken/fish shop). Ofherwise, you can apply to work in retail but you need to apply for a work permit which requires a letter from your school, parents and the company you want to work for.

Much easier to get work once you're 16. Also, there's no minimum wage under 16 so at 15 don't expect to get anything more than £3-4 an hour :(
 
Caddying is probably the easiest money in the world. Go to your local country club and learn how to caddy. If you carry doubles sometimes you can walk out of there with 150 bucks.
