Make Extra Cash and Gain Real World Experience

You can offer your services as a teen-handy man. Wash windows, mow yards and shovel snow are the easy ones. I recommend using the internet to learn how to do things like plumbing, construction, or various other handyman techniques. Develop relationships with adults based on integrity, and if you let them know you need work, they will find stuff for you to do.

I washed windows, babysat, sold baked goods, and did various handyman jobs as a 17 year old male. Not many guys that age think about babysitting as a way to get a little cash. One final way is to take a little of your savings and do some investing in buying and reselling stuff you can buy cheap on eBay or craigslist. Think outside of the box and you'll find work to do, and money getting paid to you like you need!
