What kind of jobs are available at the age of 16?

I'm going to get my GCSE results soon, and i was just wondering if theres any decently paid jobs i could go into to make a bit of extra money? I don't want to work in mcdonalds or anything like that, its crapppp.

I'm a pretty responsible guy so i can be trusted, but everyone has this little stereotype going round these days about people my age that we're all stupid and moronic.

Any suggestions?What kind of jobs are available at the age of 16?
Being a previous manager, I can attest to that stereotype. But On the other hand, I was once in your shoes. I started working at Mcdonald's, and when I gained enough exp. I then moved to a bookstore.

The bookstore was the best and they paid me highest first.

Also try supermarkets (Trader Joe's/Safeway), Fedex/UPS, and Starbucks - which give you a chance to move up after a certain amount of time. Not many people will take you if you are a minor because of hour restrictions and lack of experience. But if you are smart, a good worker, and you show them your desire to work, then that's really all you need to win them over. As with every stereotype there is an exception.



Good luck!
Well there's shop work which isn't as bad as mcdonalds. I'm 17 and work for sainsbury, I get 拢4.88 an hour but I may get a bit more than you as I'm older and have A-Levels and I live in inner city London (51p more an hour)



There's also cafes, paper rounds, some offices hire 'coffee boys/girls', babysitting, bar work (that doesn't involve selling alcohol, some leisure parks hire 16 year olds, Thorpe park, swimming baths, Butlins.



There are also some websites that pay you to take surveys, but trust me; this really isn't worth it.



Also, gumtree is pretty good for finding Saturday jobs.



Hope you find something, and I hope this is more relevent as I actually live in the UK.What kind of jobs are available at the age of 16?
Not a whole lot. More oppertunities arise once you turn 18 and even more after that after your 21.



It doesnt matter how responsible you are or arent. Bottom line is that your 16 and have no formal work experience or skills to speak of from an employers point of view. Your going to have to prove your worth just like everyone else.



My first job was working as a hostess for a resturant and it was basically for a quarter over minimum wage. You can work in a resturant that doesnt serve alcohol (18+ where I am)as a waiter or be a host. Retail shops although some are 18+ again. Grocery stores, cashier spots pay decent. Fast food is always open. Your going to be pretty limited really.
with the economy today, take what you can get, mcdonalds or otherwise. You're a kid. Go around your area and fill out applications, then depending on how much you want to work and need money, you take what you can get.

pretty much any fast food place will hire kids that are 16.

other that that, ...not much. Unless you do stuff around neighborhood, lawnmowing, ....errands, ....babysitting, ...snow shoveling, whatever.

and by the way, ? most places dont really care how "smart" you are , a 16 yr old, is a 16 yr old.What kind of jobs are available at the age of 16?
Hi there,



I鈥檝e been a member of a site called Treasure Trooper for a while, and it鈥檚 great. You get paid to complete offers and surveys, and you can also receive a certain amount of cash back from online stores when you buy from them through a link from Treasure Trooper. There are monthly Treasure Hunts, and there are always lots of competitions on the forums and on the main site. You can get paid via PayPal, or through a cheque, and the best part of all of this is that it鈥檚 totally FREE.



For more information check out my Squidoo page about Treasure Trooper:

Show them your smart, go in with a resume and be polite and well dressed. Try applying at places like car dealerships (for the inside office stuff) or an insurance company or even the movie theatre. You could become a manager fast if you work hard and show them your not just another 16 year old kid. Good luck!
i'm thirteen and i have a job for some money for college and what i do is i referee sports. it sounds really stupid, but you actually make pretty good money. you can pretty much do it for any sport that you like. i do it or soccer, and i really enjoyed it.
work in a resturant (5 stars) that has waiters and work as a waiter you'll get paid about 6-9$ an hour and the best part is there are alot of rich customers and they leave a tip most of the times its great.
You can work at a camp ? But it might be too late.

At your age you will get payed well atleast where I work.

You can also be a life gaurd.. at a pool; haha.

AE, A%26amp;F, Hollister ectt. you get discounts if you work for those stores. House sit.
Mostly everything in the field of food service is open to sixteen year olds. Also, try your local mall or any shopping centers, there are usually openings near the end of summer for jobs.
See link below.
Honestly, ask around relatives and friends/friends of the family, see if they know anyone who has anything for you. Not many random employers want to hire a 16 year old for a "good" job. Good luck.
fastfood, retail anything that does not involve alchohol, anything that you can build experience with, tutoring at a school near you
