Wow! You are the ONLY young person I have found to ever ask that question.
First you need to know that you are living in an unusual time: cultural collapse of a nation. That is a slow noisy process and nobody ever admits it is happening. Only historians will name it. Second, the money is also collapsing. Financial advisers have been warning about that ever since Nixon abolished gold backing on the USD, and now the verbs are in present tense instead of future tense.
So now is a lousy time to be making traditional investments where your worth is calculated in dollars. The first rule of investing is not "Make a profit," it is "Don't lose your money." For that reason you use all your capital to buy commodities. Since you have parents to provide food and shelter, you buy silver ingots and hide them at home. Part of the collapse process is that banks sometimes steal the contents of safe deposit boxes, and another part is that governments always steal anything you have in an account. Google "cyprus bailout" for that story and you will learn that several other countries in Europe are planning to do the same thing. So you do not store your valuables in any bank's vault, and you have a bank account only to cash checks, not to hold any investment for you. If you were to buy stocks, the law allows the broker to sell them to pay his own bills. In a bankruptcy that would be automatic.
While you are waiting for the collapse to finalize itself, take ECON 101 at the local college. Ask the professor what other classes to take. Keep studying until you don't need any advice from anybody. And get your news at www.gold-eagle.com
Print this plan and stick it to the wall above the door to your room, and maybe another copy someplace else so it doesn't get lost or forgotten. It is very easy when struggling with the challenges of life to forget what your basic plan was. As they say, "When you are up to your elbows in alligators, it's hard to remember that you meant to drain the swamp."
First off, congrats to you for wanting to start working early!
My only concern is that most employers won't look at anyone that's under 16.
Your first step is to talk to a guidance counselor at school and see what options they can't direct you toward. They're bound to be able to find something for you.
Next, you'll need to work out transportation- if you find a job, how are you going to get there?
Finally, you should ask - when you go for an interview - if the hours are flexible. You need to be able to juggle school and work without missing either.
Thank you for the advise
thank you for the help i will look into everything you mentioned here. i just always see people complaining "i wish i would have done this when i was younger" or people in my high school saying i want to be rich but not one of them ever do a thing about it and i want to. so thank you and i hope you can help me if i have questions in the future.
