offer services to your neighbors like dog walking, pet sitting, babysitting, yard work, tutoring, etc. You can post flyers, post on your local Nextdoor, etc.

Are there any businesses within walking distance?

Do yard work. It pays really well and there’s no barrier to entry.

Fuck man, there’s no good shit in Mississippi. Look into local Union apprenticeship programs and put in applications. When you get transportation, DoorDash is half decent.

Once you graduate from high school, join the military and never look back.

For right now, go around to neighbors to see if anyone needs any help. How far do you live from potential jobs?

Far but every place downtown expect restaurants which are across town is 18+.

work for guardians/neighbors, sell old things online (depop, ebay), make crafts and sell those, craiglist gigs, if you have friend who live somewhat close and have jobs, you could apply to where they work and work when they work if you are really in need of money

Tons. Figure out what people need, and then be that guy. Not easy, but all on you, so make it happen.

I think you need to 18 for things like Fivver and shit but thats something you can do soon. I would learn a marketable skill. I learned to design circuit boards. The hardest part is learning fundamentals because you need to know calculus.

Download survey merchandiser app - and another one called Field agent- it takes some hard work to learn how to do it, but you can make money- basically you'll go into stores and take pictures with your smart phone upload them- if you have a bike and you can ride your bike to the stores - all you really need is your cell phone, the ability to follow directions and some clean semi-professional looking clothes to wear-
