Jobs For Teens

If your teen is looking for a job, there are several options. Having a job means that teens can learn to manage their own money and learn responsibility. Keep in mind that the best job for your teen is the one that fits their needs the best. Here are some of the most common jobs for teens-

  • Babysitting-This common job is often overlooked, but it should be noted that babysitting is a big responsibility that is best for mature young adults. For teens who want to earn top dollar, one way to prove you can be a trusted babysitter is to take classes that help train you for child sitting. The Red Cross offers babysitter's training courses that instruct you on infant and older child care, problem solving skills, first aid for injuries, illnesses and accidents and basic safety. Check your local Red Cross for the details.
  • Retail-Jobs in retail stores are highly sought after by many teeagers. Between the excitement of being in their favorite place (the mall), and a healthy discount, teens love to work retail. However, you need to understand that these positions can be hard to get in some places where adults are competing for the same jobs. You should also keep in mind, that many retail places require some sort of prior work experience. Depending on the store and state law, the minimum age for workers may be 16 or 18.
