Odd Jobs for Kids at 14         

If it is summer time or winter holiday, you must want to find a meaningful way to spend your time. But what is the best way for a 14-year-old kid to spend his holiday? Now many parents prefer to encourage their kids looking for part-time jobs. You may also get interested in a part-time job which can keep you busy.

The best jobs for 14 year olds to make money are to get hired to do odd jobs. There are many kinds of odd jobs for teenagers, for instance, washing cars, ironing, doing the shopping and collecting litter. If you make full use of your free time, you may earn $30-$50 per day.

1. Washing cars

Many people are busy with their work. Even if they have a day off, they would rather hire others to help them do odd jobs. If you volunteer to help your parents or neighbors, they would prefer to give you some chores, such as washing cars. This is so easy a job that even 14 year olds can do it well. Find a vacant place, prepare buckets of water or water pipe, then you can start your car washing job. Maybe your neighbor will give you rewards.

2. Ironing

Before you choose this job to make money, make sure you have learned the essential skills of ironing. If you haven’t, you can ask your mother or a tailor to teach you. You can iron your family members’ clothes or look for an ironing job in nearby tailor shop.

3. Collecting litter

You can collect some used bottles, expired newspaper and magazines and put them in the corner. When you have collected them to certain amount, you can sell to scrap man instead of throwing all the waste to the trash can. This is also advantageous to environmental protection. At present, there are waste separation bins which have provided convenient collection for you. You can also pick trash in some residential districts. By collecting litter, you can not only make some pocket money, but also reduce the garbage disposal work and save some recycled resources.
