Fast food or your local grocery store

Sports equipment store if they can find the opportunity. Nothing wrong with fast food or grocery, but it may be very difficult considering the following:
1) Most people get Fast Food Jobs since its the default option. It generally is the most competitive
2) Small grocery stores are better than your big names, since ALOT of older people take grocery store jobs now.

officiate your sport (or another) on weekends, or potentially amateur leagues at night after your practice.

Start cutting grass on Saturdays.

Pizza delivery if he/she has a car. The shifts would work perfectly for the schedule you posted.

You planning on him doing any homework? He needs to pick up 4 or 5 yards to cut in your neighborhood, and you need to buy him a mower/edger/weed eater/blower if you don't already have it. And don't charge him to use it. He's plenty busy.

Lifeguard is a great gig...something that you can do for years and years, room to grow into a supervisor or pool manager. If you get the water safety instructor certification, you can make additional money training other people to be lifeguards.

Get him into food service of some kind. It will be an amazing lesson on dealing with the public and will pay dividends down the road.

My suggestion would actually be any service industry job BUT food-service. That or a job in the elements or getting hands dirty.
I don't think I was ever a candidate to quit school or skip out on college, but when you're taking parking for minimum wage at a Double-A baseball stadium and your boss is a 30 year old that dropped out of HS and is making $2 more an hour than you...you'll realize very quickly this is not what you want to be doing in 10-15 years...

I worked at Barnes and Noble in highschool. They were very flexible with my schedule, I made 2-3$ hourly more than any of my friends, and after Katrina they continued to pay us for several periods following the loss of our part time jobs. I started there because it was walking distance from the house.

Thank god you weren't my dad. He needs to practice and study, that's it. Not make minimum wage so your cheap arse doesn't have to give him an allowance.

I liked the way my parent's did it. They paid for my car, phone, insurance, and school-related activities/extracurricular. Most things beyond that, I was responsible. I also played golf in HS, but knew I wasn't going to play in college.
During the fall/winter, I'd officiate grade school basketball games one or two days a week. And in the summer I'd work at the baseball stadium from 4-9 in the evening for home games, so I had plenty of time to play golf in the spring or during the day in the summer and still hang out with friends/study/etc.

are you making him get a job? I'm glad you're not my dad. I'd have to quit the sport with that schedule plus study time

Yeah, as a HS kid, he's too busy to hold a job right now. Let him get one when hisnsport isnt in season.

The sport is always in season if your child wants to be good. Weight training and conditioning was year round 20 years ago. I'm sure it has gotten even more intense now.

He's not going to have games a few times a week and won't be having 3.5 hour practices after school. Unless his sports program is just insane he should be done by 4 everyday during the off season.
Posted on 1/13/16 at 12:55 pm to I APOLLO I
Can he not just work in the off-season? School sports typically last about 3 months. That gives him 3/4 of the year to work and save for when sports are in season.
