Ways a high schooler can make money
Hello I'm in 10th grade and am wondering how I can make at least 6k/yr as about now. I'm 15 and In 10th grade. I have a couple of friends who's family owns business and some of my family members own businesses as well. Should I work for them? I was thinking of working for them but I also had the idea of creating my own landscaping company like mowing lawn taking leaves and shoveling snow off people drive ways. I don't have any of that equipment though. Would any one on here have some insight of what I should do? Should I work at a retail store or for skemoen in my family etc

Barry. Start with a push mower and walk your neighborhood. Eventually you will have clients. When I was in high school I had a friend that started this way in eighth grade and by junior year had a truck, trailer, and commercial mowers. Good luck and get out there and hustle to get a couple of clients and more will come.
