    * Too bad you're not 15 or 16 JayFeather15. A company affiliated with the NBA teams are looking for a teenager to manage their teen social media presence. Just sent the job link to my friends children. This is a job in Los Angeles. Granted you'd have to have working knowledge of Social media and basketball ie. Know the players and teams by sight. It's a work from home with an attractive salary, bonus and coverage.
    * How about Central Casting?? Would your parents at least permit you to be an extra??
    * Locate your largest privately owned Real Estate company, especially if they work in tangent with a Tract home Developer. When we (my sister and I) were Selling Agents in SF, we'd split $250 each per week to have a stay at home mum address and stuff our mailers. 500 envelopes per week@$1 per addressed, stuffed and sealed. Cart the boxes back to the office for the PA to mail out. ** She had perfect script.

    ETA:. Don't be discouraged.

    Ha! I clicked it. And I laughed.

    I was nervous to click it at first. So, after you posted this, I went ahead. So glad I did.

    LOL me too!

    Huh, yeah I have thought about going into the movie business. But stuffing envelopes that sounds pretty good too.
    I'm good at social media, but not basketball teams unfortunately.

    If you accepted BTC through your eWallet, he might send you Bitcoin. You'd have to convert it to cash to use. Much like declaring gambling wins or flipping homes, you NEED to declare it.

    Excellent. If a Central Casting office is close to you, call them to make an appointment. Be prepped to fill in the I-9 form with the proper documentation. If you don't have pics@ two 8x10s, they're going to take your pics anyway. Dress in something you would not mind being seen in by Casting Agents. You can always get that done later and add to your file.

    Landscaping or maintenance. I have a BS in programming and during a tough time after getting laid off the only thing I could do to survive was landscaping. Go apply at a school or a hospital as a landscaper. Its a relatively easy job to get and a good way to get in shape.

    I don't know how to scape land though.

    Yeah closest is Atlanta which is like 3 hours away. I was trying to take my own photos. I have a Professional Canon but I need a better lense cause the one I have makes me look funny. Does being good looking increase your chances?

    Its a pretty quick set of skills to learn. Its mostly trimming plants, digging holes, running mowers, fixing sprinklers and a few other things here and there. Most jobs will have a short time where you will be trained for the job.

    Construction is pretty easy to get into as well. I did that for a few years during college. Moving supplies, mixing concrete, digging, smashing stuff. Good ol sweaty fun.

    Be an Uber driver.


    Parents won't let me. Concerned about strangers.

    Are you 18?

    This is my favorite post of the day. I can go home now. See you all tomorrow.

    I might know how to scape land. B)

    Taking your own shots are fine too. Although they do take their own photos of you too.

    @good looking. Depends on what background look they're casting for. Your age pretty much slates the Casting calls you're going to be directed to go to. Call outs are normatively general eg.

    Female. 23. Blonde. No piercings. No tattoos. Sometimes a term like slim or healthy are used. At other times, clothing sizes are mentioned.

    Skills needed: Needs to jog 400 meters without stopping.
    Can swim a decent butterfly stroke.

    Plan your photos to address the versatility of your look. Remember, interns around 18 to 23 are sieving through pictures. I did that back in the day. Remember to take a shot of your interpretation of an "All American" look with no make up and morning natural lighting.

    ** I have several friends in Los Angeles who are Extras. Make a decent living. Almost all jobs and call outs are for television shows. Your look will be needed. Sometimes casting teams are too busy filling in the immediate directives, they forget the background. Those in the know, just make it to the Extras tent and WAIT. 9 times out of 10, they will need your look, most especially if you're white or black. They will dress you. Once you've done 3-4 days of actual SAG approved shoots, you qualify for SAG membership. Apply for it, as it puts you in a higher pay scale per day. Be nice to interns as they oftentimes have the vouchers you need for proof of work.

    How are you with animals? Grooming shops are often looking for part time bathers, to wash, dry and brush out dogs for them to clip. Pet sitting and walking, errand running for elderly/disabled neighbors, temp agencys, cleaning agencies, http://marketsource.jobs (generally part time, sell phones and stuff through Target and places like like that), edjoin (mostly part time, school related jobs), EDD office.

    You can make good money selling your used panties online. It put me through college twice.

    I got offered $45-$50 for my dirty white socks. All I had to do was wear them all day then sell them to the guy.

    ROFLMAO clever troll, thought someone might actually offer you money, huh? ;) But CatslvuE is right, dirty shoes (they might ask you do step in some nasty stuff before sending them) dirty "intimates", dirty socks, those all have a market for them if you can find it online. lol

    *If you're comfortable showing your skin problems, then take a decent head shot of that. You could get sent to commercials call outs for skin issues, get products and get paid too. Range could be a skincare product or dermatologists looking to showcase treatments their skin clinics provide. You're lucky that you are close to Atlanta. It's like a new LA and NY for skin related castings. This is one angle of versatility.

    * Do apply a "no makeup flawless natural fresh look" for your "All American" look. Fresh!
