What did you do for money when you were a teenager?

[Sanic Screwdriver 345]

You know what I'm talking about, that age where you're too young for a job but too old to have your parents buy you everything, when you were that old how did you get your money?

[Cyan Blue 946]

Well, I am a teen. So stuff I do is like:

 

• Mow the Lawn
• Shovel

And that's pretty much it.

[Mio Akiyama 145]

Uhh, I came here to look for ideas, hahaha. First thing I can do is sell some video games(jesus christ). Unfortunately in 2014 everything cool just had to come. Freakin Godzilla movie, RWBY figures, conventions, cosplay materials that I will possibly need, and some other games/consoles. God, this year has too much stuff coming out

[N.W. 3,619]

Summer- General work around yards, mowing, helping with landscaping, etc...

Fall and Spring- Refereeing Football (Soccer) matches.

I didn't My parents bought what I needed for me until I could get a job. Key word: NEEDED

 

Never anything I wanted. X3 Just the necessities.

 

However, I guess doing some minor chores for a movie ticket might count?

Really XD I actually made this thread because I want to go to brony con, meaning I'm skipping out on a bunch of stuff if I do D:

[PsychedelicPony 440]

When i was an earlier teen I worked at McDonald's for 3 years, it's the literal worst. And from 18-19 I worked at a factory, which sounds not so good, but it is great and I got great money.

Prostitute myself

 

...at the country club golf course by being a caddie.

 

disclaimer: Doctor XFizzle has never been a golf caddie

[Deesinn 393]

Sold my body, but on the days I wasn't lazy I sold candy.

[~Silver Essence~ 2,621]

I worked with my parents such as recycling and part time to at least earn a living.

 

As of now, I'm awaiting my ID for a better and more financed job.

Good luck on getting something nice

[ghostfacekiller39 23,857]

Right now, at the age of 17, I'm sweeping floors and keep an autoshop organized, sometimes getting to do an occasional tire rotation or oil change.

 

Today, though, I had to move my bosses' old weight-lifting set into storage...

 

...yeahh, was a looonnnngggg day, and I'm sore af

[zev_zev The outcast 415]

Worked courier when I was teenage.

 

When I was child, I stole. I am registered with police since I was nine

[RainGloom 6]

Last summer I worked on a corn field.

Getting up to reach the first bus to reach the bus that takes you to the next county where you walk among crops for ~6 hours is.....well, actually it was more fun than it sounds

There is always someone to talk with and you get a nice salary. (well, at least among other teens' slaraies, that is)

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177]

I mowed lawns.... 30 bucks a lawn per week, and 7 lawns netted me 210 a week during the ten weeks of summer.

 

Spent it all on weed, video games, and the ice cream truck.

[ChoroChii 284]

e__e My Mom just still buys me things-

I'm awful.

Oh? Yeah, my Mom spoils me a lot.

[Flash Fire 386]

I worked at a convience store from 15-17 doing work I wasn't legally allowed to do until 18. 

[-Nobody- 514]

Sold on EBay, mowed lawns, real job.

[Judgement 445]

Sigh. I am a teenager. Just one year and 4 months until I can legally work. It seems like forever. My parents expect me to do a lot of things, and the only thing I get paid for is babysitting.

[Rainboom Dash 1,055]

I'm still a teenager and I do chores and odd jobs around the house for money.

[Venomous 18,813]

Got part-time work and was in a relationship where the guy gave me money for anything I wanted.

(No, I wasn't using him. He offered me money and I almost always declined his offers. We're long since broken up).

[Kallisti Imani 40]

I had a paper route for a while before I could get a "real" job.  I worked at Burger King, then for a place that delivered those advertising flyers that you find on your door (yeah, I was "that" person... cluttering up your yard, getting bitten by dogs... good times, good times), then I worked at McDonald's, then I tried telemarketing (it was horrible and I was not at ALL good at it).

 

My parents never gave me an allowance or let me do chores for money (I had a metric f*ckton of chores, but didn't get paid for them) so I got pretty good at making birthday and Christmas money from my grandparents last.

[Static Electricity 729]

Trick friends into bets I am guaranteed to win, start saving early, sell stuff, steal from siblings.

 

Last summer I worked on a corn field.

 

Find any aliens?
