So I wanna get a job, I've had no prior experiences, and was wondering if any of you guys have had a fun/decent job.
Any recommendations?

Do something you enjoy, with at least reasonable money. I recommend against fast-foods. Something related to your interests - EB Games, hardware stores, movie stores, sport centres, whatever. Just enjoy it

I was thinking about this during school today. What I really wanna do is get into stocks. We did a little bit of it back in 7 grade and, strangely enough, I liked doing it! Anybody doing this stuff? I was on Etrade browsing around. Like 500 bucks to get started!! Anybody got any advice? I'm gonna talk to some economics teachers tomorrow to get some help. Oh another thing. My friends and I were talking about buying and selling cars. Buy low. sell high. Doesn't have to be cars either, maybe start off smaller, cell phones, iPods, etc. These two aren't jobs, but still a way to make money.

Thanks guys for the advice, I'll keep ya posted with my decision.
I like the idea of not having a job, but having income by doing stuff on your own -- I had something like this before but I can't utilize this anymore, which is unfortunate.
Most likely I'll get a job somewhere and use the money to help get started with something along the lines of what you were talking about Doonagoowin.
Cheers~

Here are some things to consider:
-What is the pay like?
-Do the hours suit you?
-Is the work fun or boring? - Obviously you want to have fun.
-Do you get to meet customers and be social?
-What skills and experiences will you learn?
-Is there an opportunity to advance in rank and have more responsibility?
I know all about jobs, I am a very money focused person, and I have been working since I was 11. (I'm 16). Although I have been becoming more and more interested in self employed work. I have been exploring Stockmarket trading, Forex trading, Affiliate marketing, web design, Selling goods on ebay, and importing cars. So Doonagoowin, while I am not currently trading shares, I have a strong interest and I know a little about it from the research I did. So if you want to chat about it or anything, send me a PM.
And if anyone is interested in money making, I would say go for forex trading. I think it is the best way to go.
