Hey Reddit,
So here’s the situation. I just graduated high school, and I live in a small, rural mining town where most jobs, even casual ones, require you to be 18. Unfortunately, I’m still 17, but I turn 18 in November. My birthday is when I was hoping to go to the city to celebrate with my friends, but I’m flat broke and have no idea how to make any money before then.
I’ve tried applying to a bunch of online jobs, thinking I could maybe get something remote, but it seems like no one is interested in hiring a teenager without work experience. I’ve gotten ignored by every application so far, which is really frustrating.
So here I am, stuck in a small town with no job opportunities and no money, and I’m looking for advice. What can I do between now and November to make some cash, especially since I don’t turn 18 until then?
If anyone’s been in a similar situation or has any tips, I’d appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance!
Broke, high school graduate, cant get a job. Any advice?

I would recommend do selling. Like buy and sell..nothing beats the learning experience of doing sales. Even it just 2nd hand stuff. Sell anything just for quick cash.
Do you have a car?
Lie about your age or get some fake ID.
Btw, while doing a quick selling stuff just to get cash if you like tech stuff, learning to build AI webchat agents is a good long term business.
Check out Liam Ottley in YT. I learned a lot from him
He is also for NZ like me. Hehe
