Barista

• If food service interests to your teen, he may find a job as a barista generally more appealing than other food-service options. Baristas work at coffee houses, creating tasty coffee drinks for customers. This job is often considered more glamorous than other food-service options, and will not result in the worker returning home reeking of fryer oil.
  
  

Babysitting

• Many teens turn to babysitting when they need to earn some cash of their own. Babysitting is a desirable teen job option because teens can set their own schedule and rates in this type of work. Also, teens can work as much or as little as they need to earn the money required to finance their activities or purchases. Getting started in this type of work often proves easy as most teens or their parents know people who require child-care services from time to time.
  
  

Intern

• Through internship, teens can earn money while gaining experience in the field in which they would like to one day find employment. Internships are available in an assortment of industries. While some of these experiences are unpaid, many businesses offer interns a small fee for their time and effort.
  
  

Tutor

• Some schools offer programs for academically gifted students through which these students are paid for their tutoring efforts. If your child's school doesn't offer such a program, she can place an advertisement on a community board at a local family center or library, offering her services for a small fee.
