Online jobs for teens offer great opportunities for a teenager to work for herself from her home or where ever she might be. Online jobs offer freedom to work when you have the time and to dedicate as much time to your online business as you can or want to.
My daughter has a monetized blog. She doesn't work at it much but when she does write for it her posts are very focused and specific. She tends to fit a good niche. She offers people information that others need but don't necessarily have easy access to obtaining.
Blogging is not the only online job for teens. There are many kinds of online jobs for teens. If your teen makes clothes, necklaces or bracelets she may choose to sell them online. Some people are paid for posts written for other people's websites. If your teen is a self starter and more inclined toward working for themselves they might find that working online gives them the financial security and personal freedom they are looking for.
If your teen starts a blog young their blog can grow and the income from the blog can grown over time. This is something I suggested to my daughter about a year ago. She receives money coming in from her blog even though the blog is not updated often. Blogs are a source of passive or secondary income when left alone. A secondary income can be quite nice when jobs for teens don't tend to pay that well. If your teen dedicates themselves to their blog their options are virtually limited to their own abilities and determination.
One of the nice things about the internet is that it does not discriminate. Your teen may need to use your bank account, but after that, online jobs for teens have the potential to be as lucrative as the teen can dream up!

Summer Jobs for Teens: Gardening
Gardening may not be a glamorous job, but hey, who needs a glamorous job when you're a teen. You need money! That's what teen jobs are for... MONEY!!!
Even in this weak economy people are going to need their lawns mowed. Perhaps a neighbor needs their yard cared for while they take a vacation. Or, perhaps you live next to an elderly couple who would like to have their yard cared for.
Keep your prices reasonable. If you want to be hired instead of the adult gardener who does this sort of work for a living then you need to remember to keep your prices low. Summer jobs for teens aren't going to bring in a ton of money necessarily but you do want enough income to give you the freedom to do what you want while also putting a little away for your college days... or perhaps later in life.
Summer jobs for teens can lead to jobs later in life, a European vacation, or a new car. A summer job doesn't have to be boring. You can be creative when looking for the right job for you. Maybe working at the local clothing store is what you want but maybe you are more independently inclined. There are lots of jobs - whether you are looking for a summer job or a year-round job - that you can create for yourself. Entrepreneurship often begins when one is young in life. Think about what you like doing, then create that job for yourself this summer!
Gardening is an example of a simple job that anyone can do where the hours can be somewhat flexible and where you can be your own boss.
Enjoy looking for the summer job that fits you!

College Jobs: Counting Cards
Sophie has been thinking of ways to make money while in college. Her latest thought - after watching the movie '21' - is card counting. If nothing else, the learning process would be a fine revision of basic mathematical skills.
There is an abundance of ways to make money to pay for college. Not all college employment opportunities have to be boring or pay minimum wages. With a little thought about what you like to do, how you want to spend your time, and what might interest you you'll come up with a multitude of cool college jobs to choose from.
Counting cards is legal and most people aren't good enough at it to become a problem for the casinos. That doesn't mean a person can't be good enough to bring in college job wages.
When thinking about college jobs (or any job) just think about what you like to do and go from there. Just remember to keep it safe and legal.
