Im a jobless teenager with a deep interest in computers, are there any jobs where I could work on a computer for some income? If so, where would I look for these jobs? I would be interested in something that I can do all year round, and that wouldn't interfere with school. I'm just looking for some extra money for myself. Thanks =)

Hey teapole. Getting a job was hard for me as a teenager, problem is that you dont have a lot of experience in work. Also, itmeans you don't have any real references, and you are going to have to be trained on how ot do everything in the store wherever you work. Worse than this, there is also a global recession going on. It took me 2 years to land my first job (which i am still in now), and its in primark. I tried all the games shops, video shops, dvds, computer, and all of that, and i just couldn't get in. YOur best bet is going for large organisations, such as Tesco, Morrisons, Primark, and the like. I have found that these organisations are more likely to take on people with no history of working and employ them. I think its because students//younge rpeople are cheaper to pay, and so this way, they save money in the long run. Hope you find a job soon!
