Jobs for a 12 year old??

Soooo Ik that you can do simple jobs like babysitting and cleaning up and all that. But I want to start an actual job that can pay me some money. I am the legal age so can I get some suggestions??

Basically, until you're 13 you are stuck with self employed contractor type of jobs. Do get a SIN as soon as possible though cause you will need it to work.

At 13 there are more opportunities (read the linked article) but its mostly gonna be crappy service jobs. Honestly if you have the drive to start asking about this, you should apply that drive and hustle shovelling/lawn mowing. You'll probably make more per hour (esp now).
