You have just completed your first year of high school and you are ready to have a great summer filled with fun with your family and all your friends, but first you need to dedicate yourself to a very important task which is to find a good part-time partner. summer job where you can start saving for a car, new clothes and all the other stuff 15 year olds need to enjoy their summer vacation but the main problem here is that being 15 means you’re stuck in the middle of the teen and young years, which means that finding a good job these days (especially during these tough economic times) can be a challenging task. Don’t give up hope because if you look hard enough there are still some very high paying jobs that almost any 15 year old could do and in this article we will take a look at some of those jobs.
One of the most popular summer jobs for 15-year-olds these days is working in movies. The reason so many teens these days work in movie theaters is because it really is a great place to meet and mingle with people your own age. There are two ways to work in a movie theater for a teenager. You can work at the box office selling tickets to people, or you can check their tickets right before they go into the theater. Most teens choose the latter option simply because they are not stuck in a window booth and can socialize with people walking into the theater and make new friends. This is basically a minimum wage job, but the hours are flexible enough for you to work part time.
Another fun summer job for 15-year-olds is working at the professional sports stadium where your favorite sports teams play. There is nothing more exciting than being close to a good soccer game on Sunday and seeing the excitement and cheers of the fans as they come together and root for their favorite soccer team to win. This is a job or you can be continuously outdoors and meet many people in the process. I have a cousin who started working for the New York Yankees organization and started out selling hot dogs and now has a great position within the organization. You can expect to earn between $8 and $12 per hour doing this. If he’s working baseball games, you can expect to get more days during the week, but if he’s working the NFL for ball games, that’s a one-day-a-week job, which is Sunday.
If you are looking to meet people from all over the world and get paid for it, a great place to work is any vacation spot. Summer resorts always have openings for many different jobs and are very flexible with their hours, plus they pay very well and you get the benefits of using their facilities during your free time at no or very low cost. The best paid job for a 15-year-old in a summer resort is bellhop. Bellboys only earn minimum wage, but can earn up to $100 a day in tips if they are friendly and social with customers. I once worked at a summer resort and it was an experience I will never forget as I made friends that lasted for many years to come.
