hey.  i just wanna know what some of you do for money. (not jobs but just go get some spare money in the pocket). something that would bring in money but wouldn't call for a whole lot of time because i'm still in highschool and i concentrate on my grades a whole bunch. so like a job probably wouldn't work out because i am one of those who actually does all of my homework. thanks. (i know that most of you will just tell me to get a job and forget about the grades)

Why do young people now-a-days always think there is some unknown get rich quick scheme just waiting for them out there?  If you want money that badly, go mow lawns, wash cars, babysit...


Then again, if worse comes to worse, you could send fake graduation invitations to everyone in the phonebook.  I'm sure a good number of them would be worried about offending someone they forgot about and will send a "graduation present."

It's also illegal for an employer to fire you due to anything school related. If you are hired after telling the potential employer that you are in school, then it is(I believe) a federal offense to terminate your position if the reasons stated are uncontrollable due to public/mandatory education. At least here in NC, but I'm pretty sure it's like that everywhere as I believe it's a federal, not state, law.

I have a job, and my classes this semester are Honors Engineering, AP US history, AP Earth, Honors Spanish III.  I manage to do all of my homework and my lowest grade is in US at a 98.

My "boss" is very flexible though, I don't have a schedule, I just call him and ask if me needs a hand, if he does I'll just hop out to the airport.  On saturdays I go out there just to hang out and work.  Usually I'm out there 30+ hours a week.

Bottom line:  get a job.  There isn't much you can do to earn money at your age.

Depending on how old you look...

Drive yourself(or have someone else drop you off) to somewhere in town where no one knows you, in the general vicinity of a local college is possible (if there isnt one near you, forget about this), and then ask for money to help pay of your loans/books/whatever.

Get a damn job, If you go to school from 8-3 you can work from 4-6 or 4-7 and still have 3 hours to do homework and get atleast 10-15 hours in. You just want an easy way out.

.......he might need only one but the girl might be freaked out by him having only "one" testicle lol. If I sold anything out of my body it would be.... meh nothing I would just use some of my fat to make nitro-glycerine and blow things up.

He's right.. As long as he's a minor they have to work around his schooling.

Edit: Obviously that doesn't mean they have to hire him though.

ok maybe i should restate that. there is no place in this freakin town that i live in that i could get off work until 10. besides true value. and they aren't hiring. and good for you whoever it was that works 13 hours a week and can hold grades down. i get a lot of homework and maybe you can remember things better than me for studying tests. it takes me more time. lets say for instance i've already had homework that's lasted me from 3 to 6:30. so far i've been riding my bike around town and looking at the vending machines outside to see if someone left their change. lol.

They'll give you $700 in spare change but won't pay your food?

Seems a little backwards to me.

Uhhh. Notice I said my parent's. I took it to the bank for them. It was still their money, I brought it home and gave it up. And by food I mean anything not cooked at home, like if i'm out and I eat I pay for it. And i'm always out with friends or working or something.
