You might try to get a job at a restaurant or at a store. Babysitting is another option for you. You could also do a paper route or something else if you wanted. Check out this list for help:

Hi,

I think you should think first what exactly you like to do. Currently you are studying so many different subjects!...what do you like to do the most?

Once you decide what you want to concentrate on doing then gets easier to think in further training and education and therefore finding a job. I am not in recruitment but if you really want to start with a good job, then you have to concentrate on building your cv right from the start.

For example, if you like business and you are good at your communication skills and at numbers, then is a lot of options you can take to start a very good career and building your cv (for future, I guess once you are 16 , not sure how the school system works here in UK, are you at high school or college?)

Any way, for example about business, you can start training as an accountant technician, start by having training in bookeeping, then accountant technician and then you may go for a cima or acca qualification you are really young so that is a very good path to follow.
Or start by working in retailing and then see if you like sales and then progress from there.
Or start by looking a job in a theatre as assistant of any type, then you will see what options you can have by pursuing drama and art.

You have plenty of options and the good think is that you are young , so just think what you really feel passionate about and then go for it.
