Jobs for 14 Year Old Boys or Girls

Pulling weeds from yards can be some good jobs for 14 year old boys or girls if you're willing to do it. That's what I am doing to make some money this summer. And the best part about it is that you get paid as soon as you finish.

What I do is walk around my neighborhood and look for houses that have weeds growing in the yard, front or back, and I leave a business card under their door. People are funny about answering the door for people they didn't invite to come over.

I have my house phone listed only, for safety reasons, and I let my parents speak to the man or woman first to make sure they sound safe. We make the appointment and then I go over and pull their weeds, bag the up, and leave them by the curb or wherever they keep their garbage.

Everybody can't afford professional landscaping done so they have to mow their own lawns. But I find that a lot of these people don't like or want to pull up the weeds, so I do it. I can make anywhere from $20 to $150 in a day. I do most of my work on the weekend, and I charge according to the amount of work needed for the job.

So if you live in a suburb, country, or even city neighborhoods that have front yards, consider pulling weeds as good jobs for 14 year old boys or girls.
