    I was able to get a job in Semi-chem when I was 15 I just had to have a letter from my parents giving permission, I also had to have a letter from the school but I think this was more for a reference. This was 10 years ago and I was allowed to work 2 hours per day (term time) and 8 hours on a Saturday.

    I would go into any local shops you have and give your details saying you are looking for a part time job

    Babysitting.
    Weeding.
    Lawn cutting.

    Online the potential is greater. You can earn money online by building a website about your interests and/or even just doing surveys. I do both these and my earnings are very high for doing pretty much nothing... I think of something I'm interested in, I immerse myself in building it for about a week, then I walk away from it and it earns me money.

    Another way to do this is by writing/blogging on the websites of others. There's one site where I just posted a simple piece of advice and it's earnt me £10 in the last year. Doesn't sound a lot, but imagine if I'd done that 3x per day for a year .. I'd now have 1000 earning me £10/year! Damn, wish I had now!

    can you post the website please.

    Hi Chris,

    When my son was 15 we invested cash in a Jet Washer and he went round the estate asking people if they wanted their driveways/patios/paths etc. cleaned for a small fee.

    Final charge was dependant on the size of the job but he could easily get £60 for 4 hours cleaning.

    Worth a try?
