Airsoft related jobs for 14 year old

At 14 I was doing three paper rounds (£42 a week) as well as working in the local garage sweeping up and making tea Saturday and Sunday morning. Friday and Saturday night I work at the pub round the corner washing glasses...well loading a bloody great dishwasher up. All in all I took about £80 a week, but my mum took £25 off me for housekeep! The rest paid for ciggys, a bottle of white lightning for sunday nights bus shelter boozing, and kept me able to collect warhammer. It was hard work but at the same time I enjoyed knowing the money I has was because I was earning it, not being given it like my friends. It eats into your social time alot, so don't expect to have many friends haha

 
I think 14 is when I started working on a clat pigeon shoot as a trapper. IIRC it was pretty good money, somewhere around £40 a day (this is back 2 decades) every other week. I don't know if those sorts of jobs still exist and whether you can do them at that age anymore, gun laws were quite different when I was a teenager. But might be worth enquiring with a local clay pigeon shoot. Its not airsoft but you get a similar buzz firing 12 gauges at clays on a quiet day.

Everyone hates how much there wheelie bin smells, so go round, knock on people's door and ask if they want them cleaning for £3 a week write down the date there bin is collected and ask them to leave it empty for the day after they are collected for you to clean. Then get your self one of those hand pressure sprayers and some good cleaning products and off you go. Do a big enough area and u could have work everyday, say you do 20 bins that's £60 a week which is a lot more then a paper round.

Only down side is you would need some overalls as I bet it would get smelly. But it's money.

That's genius! Wish I had thought of that when I was 14! :-)

 
£3 a week? Flip off I will do it myself every other month for nowt!

And where in your master plan are you getting the water from?

 
On the back of my house I have a water butt attached to the drain pipe, could use the water from that, makes the buissness eco friendly aswell.

But if I was 14 I would just use my mom's water, fill up my pressure sprayer with water and some chemicals go do a round and come back for more if need be.

Could even be £3 a month, if you do enough houses you would still get a lot more then a paper round.

You could run a gaming service for your mates earning them XP on BF4 and similar? At 14 I made most my money raketeering whatever the latest collectable playground craze was at the time, but it's all computer games now so bit trickier...

Saying that I remember when I was young I used to go the local market on a Friday before school, buy loads of cheap out of date sweets, drinks, crisps and the like and I used to treble my money, spent a fiver, got 15 quid back by the end of the day.(I can always remember a sour sweet/drink thing called a brain licker was the best seller)

Up until the school found out and threatened me and my mate with being expelled if we didn't stop :/

Hehehe add some dubiously aquired stationary to the equation and that was one mine too :)

 
Brainlickers!!!!! God damn I loved them things (obviously pre diabetes etc)...i used to buy a pack of 10 sovereign in the morning for £1.80, sell them for £1 a ciggy...plus 20p to use my lighter...ahh good old days haha

 
I heard of a kid in the midlands who made £14k in 2 years of running a black market for sweets & drinks in his school. The school found out and expelled him though.

 
I used to do a paper round for £10 a week, I also delivered a paper to an elderly lady who asked me if I could walk her dog for her while I was doing the morning round she often gave me an extra £5-10 a week on top, so maybe advertise a dog walking and morning shop service in your local area. also if you go for a paperound try and get one from a newsagents as they tend to pay more.

 
it isn't really airsoft related but are you into games and stuff ? if so I'd suggest something like I did where I learnt how to code and skin for a game then started selling people my services to help them set up servers and the like. People are willing to pay ALOT for things like that.

*cough* http://r3cs.webs.com/ *cough* wootht this really is a bad cold I've got

 
Hopefully gonna go down the village tomorrow on a job hunt, trying the newsagents first as I fancy paper round to dishes lol ;) , weather permitting. :D
