Make a stand, buy a couple of 12 packs of any pop, go to a busy place on a hot day, sell 1 can of pop for a dollar.Easy profit.

Cahos Rahne VelozaTop 5 jobs for kids available in my country:1. Selling flower wreaths on the street.
2. Collecting used cans, newspapers & glass products & selling 'em to the local scrap yard.
3. Selling fruits, vegetables & street foods.
4. Selling plastic bags at a wet market, or....
5. Being a crafty but lowly pick pocket :P
now that's just mean. but true too.

You have no idea just how welcome this cliche is on a hot Australian summer day. As an added bonus, you get first-hand experience of free market capitalism.

damanaliI have 3 more to add if you will allow it.- Delivery boy for drug pusher parents that let children do their dirty jobs
- You could sell organs, its better than being kidnapped and waking up in a bathtub with ice, right?
- There are many pedophiles here, if you want dollar, i heard mostly girls get that job, while boys are attracted to local gay pedophiles. When I was in Highschool, we got a report that we should avoid a certain mall cause of gays offering 500PHP or a bag of gaming tokens to have boys accompany them. Damn... lucky guys, easy money.
LOL!I actually didn't want to go that far but yeah, those are indeed true too.
TirithRRIt was only about 5-10 hours of work a week,
Speaking getting paid, I envy the Salary policies in the U.S. where you get paid by the hour. Here you get paid per day :(You'd think getting paid per day sounds good IF the pay is good, but sadly it isn't :(Especially for teachers & Government employees who get so little salaries.

i work 24 hours a week.... and i get paid by the hour.... to be honest, the pay is low but in today's economy, your lucky to even have a job.For a 12 year old boy, my 3rd plan is the best. Easy money. You don't even have to do anything really. All you have to do is just relax and let the guy have fun. hehehe

See the problem with the bolded part is not every job is simple :PTeaching is definitely no simple job.Guarding a Mall, a Bank & even a national monument as a security guard is not a simple job.Driving a public transportation vehicle for 20 hours a day is no simple job.The problem in this country is, the harder blue collar jobs get low pay while stupid managerial jobs where the person just sits all day in an air conditioned room while he flirts with his hot & sexy secretary get the bigger cut so to speak.

And they grow an over sized ego & sense of self-righteousness too :(One of my biggest problems with the system here is that teachers are one of the less paid but over loaded & over worked sectors of the working populace which is why a lot of the best teachers that Universities have produced over the years opt to go abroad & teach there because of better pay & benefits. The end result of course is that schools are lacking in good teachers & the student population is so huge that the remaining teachers who do remain out of fulfilling "their calling" are left with a classroom of 100 or more students at one class.

About the jobs, if you really want the game, there are plenty of other jobs that you can do...
-Walk a neighbors dog
-Online Surveys
-Become a Gigolo
-Mexican at Home Depot (Landscaping, Electrical, Construction etc...)
Spoiler
Sell some cookies/lemonade/candy
There are a thousand more options, whether you want to do these things is up to you...or would they make you feel uncool.
Stop relying on your parents, cause it will benefit you today, and in the future...trust me...

People actually do this? I just thought of it and it's something that'd work extremely well. A twelve pack of pop is below 5 dollars here, you'd get a profit of seven dollars. Depending on the amount of foot traffic, you'd make quite a bit of money.

They don't, which is why I'm saying it'd be welcome :(

You should do it.Also, it's savings! A can of pop costs more than a dollar anywhere else. THE SAVINGS.PARTY.
