[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 265931"] easy child worked at six flag's when he was 15. Worked in the games area. He also worked at the dog track as a lead out, bringing the greyhounds to their starting box. Then the lead outs would be stationed at certain points around the track. If a dog fell they were to run out and scoop it up. He liked this job until his dog fell and he had to scoop it up and bring it in. Broken leg. Racing dogs...they put down. he was very sad and he quit. Same with animal shelter. He had a job there when in college. Cleaning out the kennels and walking the dogs. There was one dog that nobody else would go near. The dog bonded with him and he would take it out. One day when he came back they were waiting for him. Put that dog down. He quit. But - golf courses are a bit hit around here. Kids as young as 12 can caddy. They get some big tips. My niece drove a beverage cart on the golf course..lots of tips. Some golf courses also have parking lot attendants. They can start when they are 14. Restaurants around here are strict with what they can do. At 14 you can work at Culvers. many of my son's friends work there. Paper route - too early here. Must be delivered by 5:30AM. consession stands at sporting events. If you have baseball - ball boy. Dog walking. Must be willing to scoop poop on the walk. Neighbor boy put up signs and had quite a few customers. LOL - when i was about 13 I use to take the neighbor boy around the block in his stroller. He was 1 - 2 years old. I got a quarter. LOL. Taking garbage cans out/in for the elderly people. Only once a week. difficult child helped out a lady by helping her bring up old papers and such from the basement. Bringing out trash. Picking up sticks. Check Park and Rec department. Public swimming pools with concessions stands. [/QUOTE]
