    Make a stand, buy a couple of 12 packs of any pop, go to a busy place on a hot day, sell 1 can of pop for a dollar.

    Easy profit.

    You have no idea just how welcome this cliche is on a hot Australian summer day. As an added bonus, you get first-hand experience of free market capitalism.

    LOL!

    I actually didn't want to go that far but yeah, those are indeed true too.
    Speaking getting paid, I envy the Salary policies in the U.S. where you get paid by the hour. Here you get paid per day :(

    You'd think getting paid per day sounds good IF the pay is good, but sadly it isn't :(

    Especially for teachers & Government employees who get so little salaries.

    i work 24 hours a week.... and i get paid by the hour.... to be honest, the pay is low but in today's economy, your lucky to even have a job.

    For a 12 year old boy, my 3rd plan is the best. Easy money. You don't even have to do anything really. All you have to do is just relax and let the guy have fun. hehehe

    ...I know in Australia they don't allow paper boys anymore, stupid politically correct bs.

    But as said, do chorus, and baby sit...


    Or...

    Wait a bit dude, school is what you need first, then job hunt at 16.

    I thought it was illegal for 12 year olds to work?

    Hmm, just go do stuff for your parents or your neighbors, and sell stuff on eBay or whatever.

    low pay? really? My dad gets a really high pay and he is only in charge of distributing points of an mmorpg company that has over 9000 regular users. simple job like everyone else.

    depends on what country you're in as well.

    See the problem with the bolded part is not every job is simple :p

    Teaching is definitely no simple job.

    Guarding a Mall, a Bank & even a national monument as a security guard is not a simple job.

    Driving a public transportation vehicle for 20 hours a day is no simple job.

    The problem in this country is, the harder blue collar jobs get low pay while stupid managerial jobs where the person just sits all day in an air conditioned room while he flirts with his hot & sexy secretary get the bigger cut so to speak.

    That happens in all countries, management are always higher paid.

    And they grow an over sized ego & sense of self-righteousness too :(

    One of my biggest problems with the system here is that teachers are one of the less paid but over loaded & over worked sectors of the working populace which is why a lot of the best teachers that Universities have produced over the years opt to go abroad & teach there because of better pay & benefits. The end result of course is that schools are lacking in good teachers & the student population is so huge that the remaining teachers who do remain out of fulfilling "their calling" are left with a classroom of 100 or more students at one class.

    People actually do this? I just thought of it and it's something that'd work extremely well. A twelve pack of pop is below 5 dollars here, you'd get a profit of seven dollars. Depending on the amount of foot traffic, you'd make quite a bit of money.

    They don't, which is why I'm saying it'd be welcome :(

    You should do it.

    Also, it's savings! A can of pop costs more than a dollar anywhere else. THE SAVINGS.

    PARTY.

    Unfortunately I'm too busy PARTYING to go out and exploit free market capitalism. Also, effort.
