During High school I worked part time @ 42 hours a week.
4-10 pm Monday through Friday and 10 to 10 Saturday.
Sundays were no work days.
No work permits, just the will to make money to buy car/parts and money for dating the girls.
Best years of my life

George, I'm way younger than you and I did the same thing!
I worked on our farm (way before high school) and worked at Wal-Mart when I was in high school. If I wasn't at Wal-Mart, I was on the farm. When I was at Wal-Mart, it was 4pm-10pm (or later during Christmas) and then weekends. Between the two I could get in well over 40 in a week and go to school. I agree too, best years of my life! I had a girlfriend too! I do remember though that I had to have my parents sign something when I got on at Wal-Mart because I was a minor.... but that was it. A "permission slip" kind of thing. I think they could only schedule us like 30 hours a week too, but I made up the rest of the time farming. Shoot, some days I started on the farm at 6 or 7am, then went to WM and worked until 10. It didn't kill me!

Same here, during the summer worked for cash, doing anything, for anyone I could ride my bike to, and got paid whatever they figured I was worth. Most was for grandad on the farm. Made enough in two years to buy a new TS 125 Suzuki at age 15.
Work at home was for my clothes and food, or as father would put it. "You've got a roof over your head".
During scrool season, right after last period, walked down to the Shell station, pumped gas, changed oil and tires. Father would pick me up when he got home, bout 6:00 pm, unless he stopped for a beer first, then it could be 7.
That was a good gig. Pumping gas, especially when those "older, ladies" came driving up. You know, the ones that are late 20's and 30 something. I always did a REAL good job cleaning the windshield. Made sure to get the corners real good...

Mow lawns? About 10 people live on my road and they all mow their lawns just about every 3 days, and if they could they would mow them every 3 hours. Plus I have exactly 5 or 6 mower decks yet somehow none of them are suitable. What's up with that? How does that work?????

If I were you I would get a little more creative. Make a flyer. Put on there that your young willing and able to do tasks in people homes or yards. Clean gutters, mow grass, trim hedges etc.. Put them in mailboxes around your neighborhood. You would be surprised these days how many people will hire you to do things simply because "at least I feel this way" most people my age or in the 40-80 year old range find it refreshing to find a 14 year old willing to work hard. So many of our youth want to do nothing except be on the x-box, cell phone, or TV. I bet you will get some calls.. I bet some neighbors will actually invent reasons why they need your help just to reward a kid that actually wants to work.. If I got this in my mailbox I would certainly call the kid to give him a few days helping me stain my fence.

What he said. You'd be better off sticking the flyer in the screen door.

My boys went and purchased colored aquarium rocks, zip lock bags,and paper.
Made their fliers then put it in bags with a few rocks. The rocks were for weight, they drove around chucking those things at people’s front doors. Was faster than
walking around town.

Wait, when did this go from humorous thing to a discussion about work???

Seriously, when?? I want to know.

Also, I would work, but I kind of don't want to get run over on the road. People fly down our 2 lane street going like 50 MPH with a speed limit of 40.

Obviously, Be safe.. But if I wanted to make money I would conquer that challenge somehow also. Solutions over excuses will geter done every time...

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
