Homework and Assignments
Hey everyone! I’m a 15-year-old senior, and I’m struggling to find a job, so I started offering to do homework for $10 each. I ask people to DM me on IG. However, it’s not a steady gig—more like once a week or so. It gets tough to hang out with my friends when I always have to ask my parents for money. Any advice on how to manage this? Thanks!
A Message to High School Students I want to start by acknowledging that not everyone has the opportunity to live at home during high school, and I truly sympathize with those who don’t.

Should I choose my passion or what’s best for my college applications? I have to decide on an elective, and I’m torn between what I love and what might enhance my college prospects.

It’s great that you’ve found a creative way to earn some money while you’re still in school! Doing homework for others can be a fun hustle, but it sounds like you’re looking for more consistent income and ways to enjoy time with your friends without always asking your parents for money. Here are a few ideas:
Expand Your Services: In addition to homework help, consider offering tutoring services for subjects you excel in. You could also offer to help younger students with projects or study sessions for exams.
Other Side Hustles: Look for other ways to make money that fit around your schedule, like dog walking, babysitting, or lawn mowing. You could also consider online gigs like freelance writing, graphic design, or taking surveys.
Set a Budget: Give yourself a weekly allowance from what you earn. This way, you can plan fun outings with friends without needing to ask your parents for money.
Talk to Your Parents: If there are specific things you want to do with friends, talk to your parents about budgeting for those activities. They might be willing to give you a set amount each month or help you find ways to earn more.
Think Creatively: If there are skills you have, such as art, music, or photography, you could find ways to monetize them. Creating and selling crafts or offering music lessons could be fun ways to earn money.
Overall, keep juggling your schoolwork and social life, and remember to have some fun along the way!
