IPADS FOR KIDS IS A REASON TO GET A JOB
One of the best reasons right now to look for jobs for 15 year olds is so you can be able to buy an iPad. As you know they are expensive and range in price from $499 to $699. That is more than most teens have in their piggy banks or savings and your parents are probably not going to buy one for you at those prices. But iPads for kids are hot and you probably want one anyway.
If you want one of the new iPads, the only way you are going to be able to get one is to find a job. Yet jobs are tough to find and they are especially hard for 15 year olds.
This is why you need to be creative in your jobs search and be willing to do lots of different things. You can start by going to Snagajob and looking for jobs there but many employers only hire kids 16 and older. So, that means you need to get out of the house and talk to people.
Find out from your neighbors and people in your local area if there is anything you can do to earn money. Fall is coming and that means people are going to have yards full of leaves that need to be raked. Find out if anyone will pay you to rake their leaves or if they have any other yard related job. Winter will also soon be here and that gives you the opportunity to shovel snow if you live in a cold area of the country. People will pay for things like this and all you need to do is get out and find them.
To pay for iPads for kids you might also ask your parents if there are any jobs you can do (in addition to your normal chores) that they will pay you money for. Things like cleaning out a garage, painting, washing windows and other things like that where you can help out above and beyond what is normally expected of you.
Another way you can make money for an iPad is to clean out your drawers and see if there is anything you can sell on Ebay. Old video games, DVD’s, clothes you have never worn and other things you have lying around may be good sellers on Ebay. You probably won’t make a lot that way but every little bit counts.
Finally, you can sign up for a site called CashCrate and earn some money that way. You can read more about my review of CashCrate HERE and anyone older than 13 can sign up for FREE.
