I really need a job. I am 12 years old and people suggest babysitting but when you register online they ask like when did you graduate. So my question is what are some really good ways to make money.

Please do not post your email address on an Internet site. That is very dangerous. I removed that post.

This is a worldwide site. You really must job hunt in your own neighborhood, among friends and neighbors, church and school families, and with people your parents know. Any ads you post or phone calls you make or people you agree to work for must be approved first by your parents.

Jobs can include light housekeeping, weed pulling, mother's helper, maybe sweeping out the garage or basement, washing off lawn furniture, rearranging kitchen cupboards, reading to and helping to senior citizens.

There's something online for babysitting? I think you're looking at daycare jobs, which would require a college degree, at least where I live. Or are you talking about a babysitting course? Have you taken one? If no, why not?

Legally 12 year olds cannot work at an actual "job". You won't be hired by McDonalds, or Walmart, or any retail place. For most of them you need to be at least 16.

You can mow lawns, shovel snow, babysit, walk dogs, have a paper route. That's about it at the age of 12.

Why do you "need" a job?
