^ Best suggestion. Do you live in the boonies? And perhaps you should scale back your hoped-for PC?

have fun, get outside

If you really want to, find 10 people TOTAL to mow lawns for, charge $20 for each and mow them once a week. Mow like 5 lawns one day and 5 the other, then just have fun the other days.

One tip of advice, DON'T WASTE THE MONEY ON A DAMN COMPUTER

If you have to, don't get the latest like you mentioned, just get something decent. Save the money for something else

go outside have some fun

your gonna be working for teh rest of your life enjoy NOT working for as long as you can

and to correct you, you do not "NEED" and FX-53 and X800, you "WANT" it,

your on a computer right now, whats wrong with it? and for the price of the FX-53 alone you could build almost 2 computers that are only a tad slower

Sage advice. This is the only time of your life you can get away without working and not be considered a lazy ass bum until you're at retirement age.
 
hmm so the jobs are either farm worker, do lawns or sale drugs. man job's for 14 year olds suck.

Depends on how creative you are. If your good at presenting yourself and know a lot about computers (you found these forums after all) pimp out your skills. $30 to disinfect a computer of all spyware and virii, not including software cost, is a BARGAIN compared to what most real computer shops charge. If you got no useful skills though - well, it takes money to make money - so go flip burgers.

working sounds great when you haven't done it the first 14-15 years of your life... I've been working the same place since 5 days after I turned 15(almost 17 now) and hate every single day of it. don't do it, have some fun instead of slaving away for someone else.
 
I started doing data entry around that age. Like $6.50/hr. back in 1991. Work permits started at 14 around here... I walked to work...

I don't think I've ever not had a job at some point... I think I've had a total of at least 25 jobs in the past... data entry is where it's at when you're young.. most of them allow CD players... (walkmen when I was that age). Can't really meet chicks though... but you've got a few years before you worry about that. 😉

Picking cotton or priming tobacco > pulling corn

either that or put an illegal out of work and cut lawns. Forget the computer and start saving up for a car. If you must get a computer don't blow it all on the latest and greatest.

Yeah, I did that too 🙁 . Still scarred for life. But it was better than picking strawberries - my back still hurts from that, and it was a long time ago.
 
My Dad owned a Contrustion firm so My buddies and I were working as laborers during the summer when we were 14. Back then $5.00 an hour was good money..especially when you consider you could get an ounce of weed for $10.00 and a 12 pack of Lucky Lager for $3.00. Hell gas was only $.29 a gallon!
 
what happened to the 18+ rule?

the next thing you know theres gonna be post about whos the strongest power ranger or something... oh wait nevermind
 
I was working for a petshop at 14, yes it was locally owned, and it was all under the table. Did I enjoy it, yes, lots of working with animals, feeding snakes, some not so fun stuff like cleaning cages was also included. I worked for the shop until it changed owners, and I did not get along with the new owners very well, so I quit and started doing computer work for individuals, mostly 60+ year old women who wanted somebody to sit down and show them how to do stuff step by step, starting with how to turn on the computer and how to use the mouse. This paid anywhere from $15-25 dollars an hour, and was something I enjoyed doing, but the pay didn't come on a regular enough schedule, so I started working at a Taco Bell, and have been there the last 2 years, pay isn't great, 7.25/hour, but I can pretty much work whatever shift I want to work and my boss is willing to work around my schedule and give me time off whenever I need it. I am currently a shift manager, and could probably become the asistant store manager if I really wanted to this summer.

My advice, do odd jobs around the neighborhood if you feel like you must make some money. Spend as much time as you can without having to worry about a job, go ride a bike around with your friends or something. And don't set yourself up as a computer geek in junior high, you will regret it in highschool.

Sorry for being so long. Go out and play.

Why can't 14 year olds post here? Somebody scared of being one upped by a young teenager? Here's how I break it down, if he kills some one, he will be tried as an adult, so why not treat him with at least some adult responsibilities. I'm glad he is on here, speaking with adults is a sign of maturity, and also lets kids become mature faster.
