Well there's retail stores that will probably be hiring for the xmas season. Grocery stores seem to always be hiring as well.

put an add in the paper that says hard working honest teenager will do all those jobs around the house that you don't want to or can't do. I'm not afraid of hard work and I won't charge you an arm and a leg. Take awalk down the street and look to see whose property is unkempt and bang on their door and tell them you'll clean the joint up so well you won't even recognize it. You'll also get thee satisfaction of having worked for something you want and it will be that much sweeter when you get a set you really want. Don't forget ...a little hard work never killed anyone. I was delivering 100 papers before school when I was 8 years old. I also had more money in my pocket than my friends father's had. You might as well get a taste for work while you're young cause you'll be working your whole life. if the hardf physical labor is to rough for you , you'll end up doing better in school so that you can avoid that type of work. Plus you'll make money to buy chips and then buy more chip and than buy more chips and more and more chips

You should also concider you're "only" 15 years old. I guess back than no one here was able to pay that much money on stuff. Enjoy your youth, money comes with age (hopefully)

Keep in mind the average age here is 35.

I'd say selling crystal meth or ecstasy is a great way to earn money and learn about basic economics, supply and demand.

Quit gambling and do something constructive with your time.....

Making a vest from neighborhood cats is a great start.

Go to the golf course and be a range boy. Drive the golf cart that picks up range balls and clean them. Great job for a young kid. Free golf and then you could get a poker game going at the clubhouse after your round. Just play with chips and keep the money part on the DL as most courses will not allow gambling on the premisis, but will allow golfers to "settle up" after the round.

At 15, you still have alot of years ahead of you. Think long term, and you'll be successful when you're older. Then you will be able to buy as many chips as you want.

Start by getting a job that will give you some useful, transferable skills. Retail sales isn't bad, if the company provides training. At the same time, get a good education, and build relationships with good people.

Focus on building a career, rather than getting the quick bucks. Don't be in such a hurry to have what others twice your age have. I think if you rush, you won't build the foundation necessary to earn a consistent & high income later in life.
