[quote=Anonymous]Wow, this thread has gotten a lot of replies quickly. Thanks everyone for your answers.

It looks like most people agree that babysitting is the best way to start for a first job, so I think I will just see if my mom would agree that I could also babysit for other families in our neighborhood. I think everyone who suggested that my mom should meet the people I would babysit for first had a good point, because that way she wouldn't be nervous that it's a stranger or someone who might be creepy.

The main two reasons I want to get a job are for the money (mostly to start saving but also some spending money would be nice) and so I have enough work experience to get a better job by the time I need it to pay for college and stuff like that.

I didn't realize you had to be a certain age though, so thank you to the several people who pointed that out. One of my friends who's also 13 got a job helping in her aunt's store, so I guess I just assumed I could look for something similar.

Sounds like babysitting for a year or two, then maybe trying to get a regular job once I'm around 15 would be the best idea.[/quote]
