I would like to make some money, I have plenty of time to do it, and I have no set amount to make, am based in scotland, and would not like to use traditional jobs- sitting of any kind, gardening etc.
Thanks in advanced:)

There are not many jobs available for your age group,other then the ones you have mentioned.
Have you considered dog walking?
Have you discussed your job hunting with your parents? I ask only because they should know that your safe in what your doing.
A paper round?

Hi, sboy365!
Why don't you want to do traditional kinds of jobs that might work for someone your age to make some money, please?
Thanks!

At 11 you're not legal to actually work. The only jobs you can do are the things you said you didn't want to.
Babysitting isn't bad at all. It's also a great thing to put on your resume when you are old enough to get an actual job.
A paper route, although not always fun, is also a great way to make money, not to mention great exercise.
Work isn't about fun, not when you get older anyway. Find something you enjoy and try to find a way to make money doing it. Keep it simple, legal and at your age level. :)

Hay ,if you cut out gardening,you are losing a great income.
I think you should consider gardening as that is where most young kids make their money.
Paper route is another.
Some places will let you pick fruit and such at your age.
I would ask your parents what you could do to earn money and your neighbors.Aunts uncles,grandma,ask around.
Ask anyone you know and trust if they have a job you could do.Washing a car or walking a dog.
Ask around hon! I hope you spent your money in a good way :)

Thank you for all of the help that everyone has posted, I may start offering gardening, and, could you tell me if it is legal to think of a business and have your parents own it?
