Best ways to make money when ur not old enough to get a job

[QUOTE="bruinfan617"][QUOTE="WheresKinggiAt"] I made enough money through gambling ventures to buy myself a car at 16. You don't need a doctorate to make money.

And when I say gambling I don't mean I told my mom to put 50$ on a 50-1 shot at the racetrack and got lucky one time. I mean slowly and steadily gaining income by pushing edges and taking advantage of the foolish.

[QUOTE="Dylan_11"]Make a fool of yourself? Fast food isn't a miserable job. That is a common misconception. More than likely he will be working with people from his school. He can make new friends, have fun at work and watch his bank account grow all at the same time. Dylan_11

It isn't respectable. There is no scenario where working in fast food is respectable -- maybe some of his peers will say oh ok he just needs money but most will just laugh at him for flipping burgers while they have fun.

[QUOTE="Dylan_11"][QUOTE="WheresKinggiAt"]Yes it is a miserable job. It's less so when you are in high school but past high school age anyone who is happy flipping burgers is a loser or a freak. Even in high school it is undesirable. My pride is worth more to me than flipping burgers and making fries for menial wages. You can probably earn twice as much begging or panhandling -- it is slightly more pathetic but if the only object is gaining money and having no pride who cares?

[QUOTE="Dylan_11"]As someone who apparently has yet to work in fast food I think we will all take your opinion on the matter with a grain of salt. We are talking about the TC here and now who is 14 years old. At that age fast food is a perfectly respectable job that he may even come to enjoy. Down the line if he is 30 and still works at McDonald's then maybe we have a problem, but we will cross that bridge when the TC gets to it.Dylan_11

Do I need to clean toliets for a living to know it's pathetic? How about scam some old ladies? It's the same point. You don't need to experience something to judge it.

[QUOTE="bruinfan617"][QUOTE="WheresKinggiAt"]Isn't making money (and more of it) in an enjoyable fashion preferable to working a horrendous job and still being relatively busto? Not sure what your shot at me is relevant towards but it just basically means you have no retort since you're under the impression the only way a 14-15 year old can make money is by working a job for losers.

Probably best to exit the thread before you make an even bigger fool of yourself. Clearly you don't have enough basic logical or reasoning skills to express your views, or you just choose not to because you know they are inferior.

I earned my money in a variety of ways -- whether or not you think it's honest is subjective. But I'll tell you it was a lot more fun/socially rewarding than flipping burgers. And you can't earn enough to buy a good car flipping burgers.

Buy candy in bulk and sell it at school like the kids from the WIresboyer2

[QUOTE="bruinfan617"] Your posts actually speak for themselves on how I feel about you. But I will tell you that not everyone likes to **** people over and you shouldn't be ashamed of your first job being a fast food restaurant. I'd be more ashamed to not earn my money honestly. and "foolish" and "inferior". Ouch. Good luck getting down from that horse without breaking a leg. bruinfan617

You talk about being too proud to work fast-food and then lose all semblence of pride when you state you take advantage of fools.

[QUOTE="bruinfan617"][QUOTE="WheresKinggiAt"]Sorry but I'm better than people who work at fast food resturants. So are the vast majority of people who have real jobs. Social hierarchy.

Flipping burgers requires a WORK ETHIC. Gambling is something the homeless do on street corners when they're out of Jim Bean.

Yeah, a bunch of thugs rolling dice on a street corner isn't the only form of gambling. And I really hope that mispelling of Jim Beam is a typo because if it isn't it's pretty pointless to debate with you. I make my money from a combination of poker and sports betting. Neither are gambling any more than the stock market is gambling -- in fact less so. There is a much higher ROR for me with no risk of ruin. It's impossible to explain in a single post but basically with my skill level assuming I play within my bankroll in poker and properly wager units I will always, always, make money. Sure there will be variance but I have enough capital to withstand the highest possible swings so I have no risk of ruin.

[QUOTE="WheresKinggiAt"]

[QUOTE="bruinfan617"] I think it's funny how you say you are better than people and then talk about subjectivity. bruinfan617

[QUOTE="bruinfan617"]

[QUOTE="WheresKinggiAt"]No it isn't. Social hierarchy determines it. There's a reason people who flip burgers make minimum wage -- because it is a trivial job that requires no skill or critical thinking and is demeaning. I'm better than them because I both make more money and because society looks more favorably upon me.

[QUOTE="WheresKinggiAt"]

[QUOTE="bruinfan617"]You act like you're the next French Rockefeller... There really is nothing to be proud about at all in thinking you are better than someone.

[QUOTE="bruinfan617"][QUOTE="WheresKinggiAt"]It's not just me. Johnny the Accountant is better than Bob the Hobo. Jimmy the Doctor is better than Larry the Janitor. It's just the way it is.

[QUOTE="bruinfan617"] Only someone who is distressingly insecure would say something like that.bruinfan617

Nonetheless you agree the accountant is better. So you are agreeing with me.

[QUOTE="bruinfan617"]

[QUOTE="WheresKinggiAt"]I think you are confusing being insecure with being realistic. Say you meet an old childhood friend and ask him what he's doing. He says I'm an accountant or I'm a hobo. Which guy would you think is better off?

Nonetheless you agree the accountant is better. So you are agreeing with me.

[QUOTE="WheresKinggiAt"]

[QUOTE="bruinfan617"]Obviously the accountant, but that doesn't make me think less of him if he were homeless...

Working in fast food is for losers. When you are a teenager it is slightly more acceptable but still looked down upon. There's no reason he should get a job in fast food unless it's the only way to survive -- and it's not.

[QUOTE="bruinfan617"][QUOTE="WheresKinggiAt"]Then you are deviating extremely from the norm and should realize it. Nearly everyone on the planet looks down on homeless people and rightfully so. Most have drug/alcohol problems and can't hold a job so they pathetically beg for money.

[QUOTE="WheresKinggiAt"]

[QUOTE="bruinfan617"] There's a vast difference in realizing that an accountant makes more money than a homeless person and thinking the accountant is a better person. And I can't beleive you actually mentioned homelessness when we were talking about a 14 year old's first job at a fast food restaurant...bruinfan617

Doubt we need a judge or jury to figure out who is better.

Flipping burgers doesn't require any work ethic. It requires being able to do a mindless task over and over. It is also demeaning. I wouldn't flip burgers if the salary was 1M a year (assuming all other variables remained static). It's worse than death for me.

Then you have no idea what Work Ethic is. Work Ethic is being there when you're suppose to, doing the work as you're suppose to, and generally taking care of business. Even ditch diggers have a work ethic.

You simply come across as a young, arrogant teen with no experience of the real world.

I'll tell you what work ethic is: taking your own $1000 and building a business you sell for $2.25 Million (6.75 million 3 ways...I had 2 business partners) and retire at age 27, as I did in 2002. It only took me 3 years (1999-2002) to turn that around. And that was 3 years of 12-15 hour days, 6 days a week. THAT is work ethic.

So how's playing craps going for ya?

Awesome shameless brag at starting and selling a successful business though. Congrats on your success but I don't think it's prudent to retire at 27 with only 2.25m, unless you already had a very high net worth prior to the sale, which doesn't make sense given your post.

I don't play craps except recreationally in casinos. If we are going off mere earnings I've earned more in a 4 month period then you sold your entire business for (your share). Granted this wasn't normal but I've had a few years where I've earned more than that -- and had no losing years. I'm not going to reveal my average yearly income since it varies and I've toned down and had some leaner years in the last two simply because there's no need for me to put in the volume I used to because my monetary situation is extremely comfortable.

do things for ur mom. it will make her proud.

Move to a country that uses sweat shops.
