Hi,
im 14 years old and my brothers 15 almost 16 years old and we where wondering how we would go about getting a job if either of us could if you could show us a site or somethign id be much appreciated



Answer
One of the most common questions on âYahoo Answersâ comes from young people looking for ways to make money. I totally understand the question and the various responses with the traditional answers of babysitting, online surveys, lemonade stands, paper routes, etc. While the traditional ways of making money may work for some people, they certainly wonât work for everyone so itâs time to think outside the box and dare to be different.

In most states itâs illegal to hire minors (under a certain age) for employment. For some states that is somewhere between 14 and 18 depending on the job, the duties and the products or services being sold. The best resource for your situation is a chat with your local schoolâs guidance officer or Board of Education. These resources will be able to help you get a work permit, explain the laws and rules, and sometimes help you find employers that are seeking part-time student help. Let's face it⦠it wonât hurt to ask.

Now for those who arenât able to legally work for an employer, donât give up! You can, at any age, work for yourself and/or your parents. There are limitations such as selling drugs, alcohol, body parts and other products but that leaves a lot of things that you CAN sell and/or services that you can provide.

Your local library is a great resource. Check out books like âFast Cash for Kidsâ by Bonnie & Noel Drew. Talk to the Librarian for other referrals. You might like âThe Richest Kids in Americaâ by Mark Vincent Hansen⦠what a great book!!!

Check out the services of Junior Achievements at http://www.ja.org. Junior Achievements is a legitimate organization that works with teen entrepreneurs. You just might âclickâ with their website.

You will need to do a little homework before just dashing into a business of your own. You will want to find out about local laws and licensing. You might want to learn a little about marketing, accounting, selling techniques, advertising, taxes, etc.

Here are some ideas for money making that you may or may not have thought about for yourself⦠washing windows, recycling, teaching, tutoring, writing, crafts, selling online, fixing and selling skateboards or bicycles, refinishing furniture, cooking or baking, washing cars, growing and selling flowers or spices or even goldfish, printing tshirts or calendars, selling bumper stickers, energy efficient lightbulbs or programmable thermostats, shampooing carpeting, making and selling non toxic cleaning products, selling books or music or video games, or performing as a clown or other character or ⦠as you can see the list goes on and on.

Itâs really important to DO something to get your business started. Itâs great to think about things and plan how youâll spend your money once you earn it but youâve got to start doing something in order to take action. Learn how to write a business plan and then concentrate on writing it. You canât reach success if you canât describe it.

I started working at 12 selling calendars door to door from fall to winter every year and I raked in a lot of money just fifty cents at a time. But I didnât sit back waiting for the money to find me and you shouldnât either. Itâs time to learn about yourself, your industry, your customers, your suppliers and your business.

Every journey begins with a single step.

What are your beliefs on violent video games affecting the mind of teens and kids?

wondering becuase group have started agianst video games


Answer
I have been an online gamer in many MMO's for since 1998. I started with Everquest and DAoC. And i still play with my children. Video games get a very bad rep because of a few individuals. People who blindly blame video games should experience what their children are playing before making judgements. Many parents blame WoW and other MMO's for problems and have never even seen the game or met the community behind the game. I think many parents would be shocked to learn that the majority of the players on these games are adults and parents. And that those adults and parents arent bad people looking to adversely effect your kids. We as gamers are usually a tight knit community who helps each other much like the people on YA. i think people judge before they think or research what they are judging. And btw anti gaming groups have been around since 2001 when the first MMO suicide occured. And i stand by the fact that less deaths have occured in 15 years of computer gaming then occured last year in bicycle accidents. thats a proven fact and the majority should NOT be punished for the few.

EDIT: now your making me feel my age lol. Its was NEWB way before N00b guys.

Yeah i realize in 1337 its n00b. But before that it was newb. 1337 wasnt used by most gamers until around 2003 or 2004 when all us old time gamers had to relearn the lingo. Its also when most vid cards went to 3D lighting and shading and all us old time gamers had to replace our cards to play SWG which was way ahead if its time in graffics versus standard technology. As i said im a LONG time gamer not an idiot.
