Hi Jamie,

I've sent you an email, but here is the info that I wrote, in case you are unable to retrieve my message.

Since you are 13, there aren't any jobs available to you in stores, restaurants or most online businesses. Federal law prohibits hiring people under the age of 16 for any of these types of jobs. However, there is nothing to keep you from creating your own jobs. Check out local postings on bulletin boards in places such as your local library, bank and town hall. If you don't see anything there, create your own fliers and post them. Use your computer or the library or school's computer to create really eye-catching ones. Be sure to include your name and phone number so people can reach you with job offers.

Jobs you can do range from dog walking/pet sitting to mowing/raking lawns, house sitting, babysitting, house cleaning or anything else you can think of. Many people, especially adults, aren't computer savvy. Consider offering to set up computer systems for people and charge at least $10 per hour. (Believe it or not, people just don't know how to set up peripherals- like printers!). Adults also hate programming cell phones- so that is another service you could offer.
