It is quite difficult for a 12-year-old teenager to find a job, because not every employer wants to deal with a minor, in fact, still a child. However, there are still opportunities to earn money.
Instructions
Step 1
Some teenagers begin to strive very early to earn their own money. There are various reasons for this: someone wants new skates or a bicycle, but the parents' salary is not enough for such a purchase; the other simply wants to have cash of his own so as not to ask his parents for his expenses. The desire to work should be approved, another thing is that many parents feel sorry for their child, because he has to work all his life.
Step 2
On an ongoing basis, after school, a teenager can be, for example, a courier or a postman's assistant. But in order to deliver mail, you need to know the city or at least the area well. Delivering magazines and letters, you can simultaneously post ads.
Step 3
Another type of permanent income is work in car repair shops and car washes. Although there is much more such work in the summer, it is still possible to agree to work throughout the year. Having learned and proven yourself, over time you can get pretty decent amounts of money.
Step 4
A teenager at the age of 12 can earn extra money by walking the dogs. In megacities, such services are becoming more common, and walking a day with two or three dogs, you can make good money.
Step 5
When choosing the option of permanent work, it is better to dwell on what you will like so that the chosen field can be useful in the future. The longer a teenager works, the better the employer's attitude towards him will be. Any owner of a small or large business runs the risk of hiring a child, so from the first day you need to show all responsibility and willingness to work stably.
Step 6
If a teenager wants to earn some money during the summer holidays, there are also many options for where to apply himself. Summer is gardens and orchards, where there is never enough work: digging, weeding, harvesting, watching over the animals - all this is within the power of a 12-year-old teenager.
Step 7
Another option is amusement parks, you can help in their improvement, you can sell cotton candy or lemonade, and service attractions. Some teenagers at the age of 12 can already help with construction or repairs, starting with simple skills and gaining experience.
Step 8
Parents of a teenager who decided to try to work on his own can only be advised to support the child and help them decide. The earlier adolescents begin to earn money, the more responsible and careful attitude towards money they develop, which will undoubtedly come in handy in life.
