Garage Sale? Bake Sale?

One suggestion is: contact a local university/college as some departments need study subjects (aka guinea pigs). Avoid the ones that require you to do dubious things - like test medicines. But there are things like answering questionnairs and attending focus group sessions that pay.

Failing that, you can see what jobs are going on weekends at the shopping mall.

I know the feeling. When I was in my teens, I did everything from flipping burgers to telephone sales to even less edifying work.

Good luck

I'm not, er....a female.....but have a thought on this issue...

Go around the neighborhood and offer your services as cat sitter/dog sitter while folks go away on vacations...My 12 yr old gets $20-30 each time, for one animal, some plant watering, etc.

Word got around fast, and he has to turn away clients...too many of em...heh

the animal stays at the owners place, and you may have to feed once or twice a day, plus make sure the animal gets out a bit, but its easy money...

if you play an instrument or do anything artsy, go to a park on the weekend, put
down a hat, and do your thing for people.

if you try it, it might really work

(oh, make sure that local ordinances allow this. you can
call CIty Hall and ask for the legal department, and ask
an attorney if the City has bans on this sort of thing)

How about clean houses, wash windows for elderly neighbors, mow lawns, or shovel snow?

Put up a flyer in your local grocery store advertising your prices.

Well...

$500 includes the aquarium, pumps, and the octo? Not to burst the bubble...but I did check out the sites, and they seem to be a pretty high maintenance and expensive pet if it's something that is just a "current" interest.

But if you really have thought it through...there's no fast money...why not try and get a part time job at a local aquarium or pet store? That way, you can learn more about them, get a discount on supplies, and earn money to boot!!
