Anyone know where a 15 year old could get a job over the summer. I live in Vt, and need money to get gear for skiing. Plus is never hurts to have cash on hand. Any ideas?

Since you are into skiing , maybe see if any of your local shops might have something for you to do. It's not the best money, but you get around 20% below wholesale on most things and you might learn some cool stuff and meet some cool people.

be creative.  at 15 like alot of people said fast food is prob your best bet. good vibes amongst coworkers makes up for the shittiness and humiliation that is working in a fast food joint. gold caddy is a pretty good gig to and vt there isnt a shortage of golf courses.  go around to roofing compainies house painters etc and ask if they need a gofer or an extra hand.  just look as long as your motivated and are able to communicate or convince your would be employer that your a hard worker youl find something.

i dunno what the deal is at your shops but the shops in van will maybe give 20% off retail OR wholesale to their employees, not 20% off wholesale price, since wholesale is the price the store pays for their shit eh

If you live in VT like I do working in a fast food restaurant is dumb. Find a high class restaurant to wash dishes at, more money and respect. Or working at a ski shop is a good place too. These are things you can take anywhere (a place you want to be like next to a ski hill)

word. i worked at a golf course as a caddy when i was 15. you can actually make some pretty good cash with tips.

+whoever said waiter...he's 15, no one's gonna hire him as a waiter at 15. maybe bus boy but i'd rather caddy. you're outside, decent exercise, plus most clubs, at least the ones where i worked, had one morning a week where caddys / staff could golf a round for free, plus the annual caddy tournaments (which i never did, cause i'm horrible at golf).

good, job, but you have to be drinking age if you wait tables somewhere that serves alcohol, which all nice restaurants I've heard of do. washing dishes is really not too bad because it's super easy, just kinda gross sometimes. It's usu. minimum wage but sometimes you get a percentage of the servers' tips, and you can probly walk away with about 3.5 grand at the end of the summer....when I washed dishes thats about what I made. a lot of people I know work at amusement parks and all tehy do all day is sit at the top of a water slide and tell kids when to drop in, so thats an easy job if theres an amusement park near you.

doesnt even have to be a good restaurant. i was a waiter at frischs big boy and cam away with about $10 per hour just in tips most nights. add the $3.43 that the restaurant pays and ur making a solid $12-14 per hour usually. plus u dont have to report all of ur tips so like half of what u make is untaxed

wow same, i work on a lobster boat in the summer. its the easiest thing ever,  u sit, wait for a basket of lobster to fill up, you take the lobsters, band them then put them in the tank. and u try to make it fun like tossing the lobsters into the tank and making them do tricks like back flips. And you make 150 bucks a day
