Right now I'm bored 2 Death, and I have a Crappy CPU. I want around 600$ to buy myself an New PC, but Then I don't know much Summer jobs to do allowed for an 12 year old.

The Summer Jobs I heard so far is

Delivering Newspaper
Church

Got other Suggestions to help me?

Do oddjobs for ppl.

When I was 12 I was goin around the neighborhood and raking leaves, mowing lawns, pulling weeds, etc.

Also ask your parents for an allowance in exchange for chores. I had that as well.

Argh, I don't think does jobs fit me. I like working indoors, but I don't know any job would allow an 12 year old. So any other suggestions?

Shore Stop!!!! Come to Maryland and work at Shore Stop with me

LOL look dude you can't be picky, you're already thinking down the wrong track here...

You're 12. You can't legally be employed, period.

You need to do some yardwork. That's about all you can do, lazy man.

Hey I used to go feed my neighbor's cats every time they went out for the week. They paid me for it too. Just ask around for people who need crap done for a little bit of cash.

there arnt many ways for a 12 year old to make $600 except saving up money for a long period.

I bought my first pc at the age of 16, I worked in a restaurant then.

Skitsfrenik how old are you? You boss =D? I would come and work there, but I don't know where that place is

Edit: You bought your comp at 16, Wow, How old are you now?
I got 2002 Window Professional, and really crappy thats why, I want the 600$

I'll be 19 in 2 weeks lol

Still using the same pc, even though Ive upgraded it a few times in the past 3 years.

You can always get a console, I used to have consoles when I was younger, theire less expensive *cough except the PS3*, and its more fun to play games with friends on the couch.

The games are expensive though, and if you buy an older console the games are not as good looking as the new pc games (but the prices lower), and its harder to use illegal versions of games, (so) I dont recommend that.

I used to play sega megadrive, later the playstation and then a playstation 2. still use them.

I started doing yard work, splitting wood etc when i was 11. Built my computer at 12....but cant be picky bout only thing you can do is oddjobs

Ah, Well When I'm 15 I'm planning to work KFC. Its really near 2 my house like 3 minute walk, but Then What skills do you need to work there?

After I get back from my trip i'm hoping to start working at rogers. My cousin works there and gets 50% off of everything (cellphone, internet, cable, ^^)

I heard the teachers said, "A 14 year old was working at Rogers Stadium{Selling Baseball, hats, Clothes, etc"
Wow thats kind of weird eh?

Wow lucky for some reason here you cant work at KFC til your 18, due to working around hot grease...that goes for any fast food place

Aww thats gay. The Good thing, I can work at Macs too. Since its KFC is like beside Mac's, and Some Medicine store.

reminds me of this



anyways... PC's are better, you can do more with the game (mods) and you can do things that a console cant

omfg I dont think I have ever laughed so hard at something on these forums

in my state you have to be 16 to work around food. Ive seen plenty of people younger than 18 working at Mcdonalds KFC etc...

oh my, ill tell you now that aint gonna happen, there are people who score straight A in CIE/ IGSE in year 10. But don't get employed to work indoors what makes you think you are in the position to pick to work "indoors".

Think to yourself, what skills do you have that a common person doesn't before you reject working in gardens and think it's even possible for you to be hired for a job.

Not even considering employment at age 12 is illegal child labour

Karing places
Paintball places
PC games - console places
...

just think what you like to do and then think if you can work at there... i would ask if i can work in paintball places or karting places, i like both.. maybe more kartings because im quite good at them (actually winning all mi friends for 1 lap and some for 2 =D)

çanyways PC game splaces is another option, you have all the games you need and a PC there waiting for you.

If you get a friend to work with you it will be MUCH more funny

Huge NO to both paintball and karting places.
You have to be 18!! Not 12. Not 14. No, 18. And some places you have to be 21! Nice try, I wish I could be a mechanic as a summer job, but thats 21+.

Just get ANY job, your Farking 12 years old.

lmao at the gif

and yeah ofcourse PCs are better, but theire expensive and they give alot of stress when stuff doesnt work, you will get stressed if you cant play newer games etc, I never had that when I played consoles.

And a top PC that plays everything on high graphic settings costs around 700-1000 €/$, and with that I mean a PC that can play games like Crysis, Lost Planet and stuff.

The PS3 costs 600$/€ but can play the new Battlefield to be released next year, and the new GTA and stuff. Less trouble and super multiplayer fun

With the PC you can browse the internet, listen to music, watch movies (blue ray anyone?), chat etc. And play great games- on your tv.

for 300-400 $/€ you will have a pc that plays most games for now, but it will outdate next year if it isnt upgraded.

It all depends on what you want to do with it: if you just want to play SRO on highest gfx buy a 300$ PC, if you want to play GTA4 on higest gfx you will need a more expensive one.

Just dont expect to much from a job; when I was 12 there was no way I could come up with 600$ other than saving and doing some random jobs.
Might as well get a $2 football and become a rich pro footballer lol j/k

g/l with your job.
