Hey guys, I've been thinking about what I should do to get a little money to start my business. I'm currently 15 years old and don't have a job yet. The only money I have is 3 years worth of saving from birthdays and Christmases. Next summer I have two guaranteed jobs but that's awhile away, so I'm thinking of other ways to make money. My mom and I were just talking and she asked what should I learn next? She works in accounting and is very busy with her job plus raising me and my two sisters. My oldest sister is in college and soon my other one will be too next year. Leaving me at home alone with only one sport, my mom will be open to a lot more time. She said something about doing taxes for other people, lots of people hate doing their taxes but she doesn't really mind it. I asked if she could teach me, and she said she will of course. My question is should I pick up on this side job? It may not gain me tons of money, but it can be used towards my business. While typing this out, I just started thinking if you had to be 18 or so to become a tax preparer. I don't really want to delete all this, but I'd like to hear your guys' thoughts! In the mean time I'll be looking up age requirements for this job.
