Hello everyone, I hope your day has been great so far. Anyways the problem I am dealing with here is that I would love to buy more stuff to help out my channel such as equipment, games to play, etc. But I don't have any money to do so. I hate asking my parents to get all of this stuff because we are not in the best financial situation right now. I am 15 years old (turning 16 at the beginning of March) and I would really like to find a job of some sort to help buy all of this stuff. I know some of you guys are going to say "Get a job in the Summer," but the job I am getting in the Summer will go to my Summer Camp fee this year (which will be in Canada) so it is going to be a lot of money, and there might not be a lot left for me to use. My sister has a job (she is a year older than me) babysitting this little girl. She doesn't do it every day, she does it on a monthly basis, and she gets over a $100 for doing so. I would really like to get a similar type of job where I don't work every day (because I have school to go to). This is pretty much my situation, so please, if you guys know anything I could do to make money while still having to go to school, I would greatly appreciate it. Advice would also be accepted. Thanks :)

Okay, is there a difference in which jobs you are allowed to have beacause of your age?

A child 14 or 15 years of age may not work more than eight hours in one day or more than 48 hours in one week. A child who is 14 or 15 years of age and is enrolled in a term of a public or private school may not work between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. on a day that is followed by a school day or between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m. on a day that is not followed by a school day. 16 and up is OK.
 
If there's a learning center around where you live, like Kumon, give them a call and ask if they have any job openings. It's easy work and you'll get paid, but not a whole lot. :P
