Find a Job This Summer
This summer there are things that students can do to earn some pocket money or to help others． Also， many programs are offered by provincial government and its partners to help students find summer jobs． Here are a few ideas．
Deliver Newspapers
Teenagers can deliver newspapers﹣ usually you ride a bike around a neighborhood and leave the newspaper at each house． Normally you have to have your own bike﹣and you have to get up early too， because people want their newspapers to read with their breakfast． If you are 15﹣ 18 and return to school this fall， you can find jobs of this kind．
Wash Cars
It's crazy for adults to drive to an expensive car wash when they can get a teenager to do the job for less money． Wash the car well and carefully and people will want you to do it again． Then you've got customers!
Give Older People a Hand
Lots of older people are happy for teenagers to help them carry their shopping or do small things for them， like washing or keeping them company （陪伴）． You earn money or not， and people in the neighborhood get your help．
Job Programs
If you are a student living in certain communities of the province， you are lucky． There are programs that provide four weeks of paid jobs along with training． After that， you can start and run your own summer business， and you have a chance of wining awards of up to﹩1000． Go to the government website to learn more about these programs． People under 25 could build skills， find a job or start businesses all year round．
They are all great ideas． Just choose one of them to make some money． Then spend it or save it． But don't forget it's important always to tell an adult where you are going．
