    Hey everyone. This summer I'll be turning 17 and so I'll be getting my provisional license. My goal is to have saved up enough to get a used car around then, however I'm having trouble getting a conventional job (mainly because of time restrictions and difficulty getting hired). What are some unconventional ways I could make some money? I was thinking of making something and selling it, but I'm not very good at making jewelry or anything.

    When I was your age I was slinging weed during lunch breaks, cooking hash brownies in home economics, breaking up eighths in bathrooms, and counting stacks of bills by the last bell. But that's illegal and you shouldn't do that.

    Do you have any skills? Try getting a job at a carwash or grocery store. Where do your friends have jobs, those might be good places to start applying.

    Anyone else have suggestions for the kid?

    check your local craigs list
    alot of unconventional jobs are on there and they probably pay more then the $6 per hour Burgar King will give you.

    There are a lot of guides of how to make Ashtrays of junk like empty cans and sell them for good money ( 2 euro a piece or something ) just google it.

    A good, not very fun, way to make money would be to start a business cleaning up peoples yards of dog poo. If I had a dog, I'd pay someone to do that!
