    This is an easy way to browse for jobs, they are hooked up with the unemployment offices all around USA. You can find a job here in 1 day. I promise. :)

    A lot of the teens around my area work at the supermarket.

    Um, yeah, use your skills to narrow your search down to your zip code, and type of job you want, part time etc...

    Several years ago I heard that one in 10 Americans have or will have worked for McDonalds in their lifetime :p

    Rob people.

    You earn in 20 minutes what you'd earn in a day. Purse-snatching would be my favourite source of summer income.

    My daughter work at kentucky fried chicken for over 2 years. I took her back in forth for the 2 year time period until a cars-sale man ask her if she would like a part time job. She took the job and they give her a loan for a car. It couldn't get any-better than that. She going to college to get her nursing degree. You have to start somehere and she made 8$ per hour. Not bad for a 16yr old.

    Post on webmaster forums offering your services for a fee. Could be anything from content writing to brokering links. Sure beats working for someone else and making them rich at the same time.

    I have a friend who was working at Shoney's washing dishes and bussing tables. I turned him on to DP and he started getting writing jobs. About two months later he quit Shoney's and is now making more at home writing for websites than he was at Shoney's.

    I know of another person who worked at McDonalds over a year, now they are making more online than they were when they were working 35 to 40 hours a week at slave labor.

    Both these people have families with rent, utilities, insurance etc etc

    So you may want to consider concentrating on finding writing jobs or other similar jobs right here.

    All depends on how much effort you put into it. The more you work at it the more you'll get in return.

    kentucky gave a perfect example and I'm sure other members could say the exact same thing.
