Wow, I'm being a dick? How about you are a moron? How many pointless, useless, uninformative posts have you made, or at the very least comments have you posted. Perhaps I am sick of reading inane bull**edited**? If you really wanted money you would find a way to get it. Regardless of a drought. There is always yard work to be done, and other odd jobs, or you could be rather entreprunerial and start a website of sorts, in an attempt to make some money. You would really just need to be able to make $1,000 dollars a year to pay for the site and some moderate paintball play. But oh wait, since apparently the concept of basic economics: exchange capital for goods and services, it beyond my reach, I should just make another stupid post, like all the rest of my previous posts, withput saying anything intelligent. Thereby adding another post to the multitude on every paintball related website, as well simply on the internet. ------------- 2005 Freestyle Naughty Dawg Freestyle Angel LCD SP-8 Tippmann 98 Custom |

How dim do you have to be not to be able to find work at 14? Im 14 too and worked all last summer doing crap jobs so I could play. I made about 600 over 4 solid weeks of doing random stuff that people needed done. I ended up with plenty of cash to play and having enough left over to pick up a new gun. Its really not that hard to find random jobs for a little cash. And, like someone said before, if you tight on cash, try stock class. Its a lot more challenging, and is quite often more fun because of it. -------------

I am 15, and last year when I was fourteen I had a job working at a trap and skeet range. It took no special skills and towards the end of the year the guy would take you on a hunting trip for free. The job also paid great amounts of money I mean you could make upwards of 200 on a weekend when there was a competition just for saying loss and marking on a piece of paper.

ebay..i made about 1000 bucks in a month buying/selling. now i have a reputation, my neighbor wants to give me a percentage of a hotdog truck he wants to sell. so even 5% of say 20 grand is 1,000, and 5% is probally cheaper than i would get. and i'm 15, you can make money doing anything, and being anyone's slave. and if i must quote scarface, because he's the man, "America is just like one big *&$# just waitin to get ^#%@!@". even if it's minimum wage, it's somthing. -------------

Get a Job....I was making $100 from 11-14 with a paper route. At 14 I started making $150 a week at a supermarket. At 16 I started making $200 a week, and now I make $400 a week. Anyway, just go do anything. Clean your house for money from your parents, mow some lawn, rake some leaves, shovel(next year)... ------------- Que pasa?

Run around your local field announcing that you will gladly let people shoot you for money/paint. Rich aerrogant people would probably go for it. Plus, if you go to an indoor reball field, its a bonus because you can re-use their shots. Im not being serious btw -------------

you might want to check your knowledge of what is legal and what is illegal. You can get a workers permit issued to you at age 14 (most states at least, check your states DOL) and work just about any job but under restricted hours. Also, odd jobs around the neighborhood aren't illegal per say, as nobody will arrest and prosecute you for doing yard work for the elderly people. I had a job since I was in 5th grade as a paper boy, but I believe every state switched the paper to morning delivery and required that you be 16 in order to fulfill the needs of having a car and being able to get the paper out that early. The point is, there are plenty of jobs out there for kids your age. You just aren't allowed to be picky about them or you should just sit quietly and be content with your unwillingness to make money.

We look down on you not because you are young, but because you have yet to display intelligence. Based on your earlier posts, you had the mentality of "just some kid," so you will be "just some kid" until you prove otherwise. Just think before you post, and it should be okay. People have a preconceived notion of you right now, but if you just use some common sense, it'll clear up for you. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

You are being judged this way because you would rather sit on your computer and take advice from people on the internet and then complain that we give you bad ideas. You sit here and waste time rather than being pro-active and going out to look for a job.

Create a website that people will actually go to, actually put decent content on it. After that, sign up for Google AdSense, and you may be well on your way to making at least $100 a month...if the website is good. or Buy marijuana seeds online, germinate them, and plant them. Depending on how well you take care of them and how many female plants you get, you can get at least $300 a plant, and seeds are cheap. or Get a job anywhere, you will find one if you look hard enough. You may not like the job you get, but it's money. ------------- [IMG]http://i27.tinypic.com/1538fbc.jpg"> Squeeze Box ☣ |

Seriously,
Learn everything you can about paintball markers from Nelspot-007's to the latest and fastest e-p markers out there. Go to the local pro-shop, get to know the manager and whatever you do, DON'T BE IMMATURE. If you're lucky, when you're old enough to get a work permit, you might just be able to get a job as a sales person or a fill monkey. Also, check out reffing at the local field. It usually pays crap, but the benefits (paint, free play, etc) are usually worth it. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

DeTrevni speaks the truth. I am going to add some wisdom regarding the "preconceived notion" that others have about you: The internet is a lot like real life; no matter how badly you screw up, or how foolish you make yourself look, someone will come along and outdo you. What this means is that if you manage to go a few weeks without doing anything to attract negative attention, somebody will do something that will make everybody forget everything you did that we are giving you a hard time about right now.

As a 14 year old , look around you and think of the household jobs you totally hate , washing cars , cleaning sheds/garages/dog-poop/walking dogs/pick up construction trash , what have you,,, and Whore yourself out for money to your neighbors/friends/people you dont even know. You think things will get easier when you turn 18 ? Dream on !! You arent doing it because its fun , you are doing it because you get paid ,,,, and in your case , do those things for your parents for free , they feed and house you for nothing (aparrently without making you do anything around the house too !! ) Suck it up and get to it boy !! ------------- SL68-II , micro honed and polished .688" bore .
