Out of school! While some high school graduates look forward to the summer before heading off to college, others are anxious to start working and making some money.
While we usually think of jobs in malls and fast food joints, there are a variety of work-at-home opportunities and work-at-home jobs for teens and young adults. Working from home offers several benefits besides earning a paycheck. Many opportunities offer a lot of flexibility for those who still want to enjoy warm weather and friends. That flexibility can allow them to take these jobs with them to college, and even earn some college credit.

Starting a home business can teach teenagers many important skills that they may not learn in a traditional work environment. In addition to general money and time management, they also learn important communication and sales skills that come from building relationships with individual clients and customers.

I recently saw several job listings for social media and blogging interns. I would not recommend working for free unless the experience counts as college credit. Always ask about salary for intern positions if it is not clearly stated in the job description. Once you have the skills, you will be able to attract additional clients easily.

In most cases you must be 18 years of age or older and have some customer service experience. You also need a quiet work environment and high speed internet.

Handmade Seller
Many teenagers today are creating amazing things. Whether it’s jewelry, original t-shirt designs or custom wall prints, get out there and sell it. Set up a table at local outdoor vendor events and flea markets. Get your stuff listed on Etsy.
As a young seller you may have an advantage. I have to admit that I have a soft spot for young entrepreneurs. Many others, too!

There are organizations across the United States that help connect teen tutors with those in need of their services. There are also many opportunities to get out on your own locally or offer your services online.
