I own an IT support business and would have a hard time hiring a teenager to work for me both from my end and the customer end.

However why not try a golf course or something that keeps you outdoors? Landscaping companies always need extra summer help too and also tend to pay better than say a fast food restaurant.

The only way I see the computer repair working is for you to freelance out to people you know. You don't need to know binary of hex as most people in IT do not. Get some business cards made and have your parents help get them passed around to their friends and what not. Since they want you to work enlist their help.

Hmm, golf course, I'll see if I can find any around here, I know there are a few country clubs, don't know about those though..

As far as the freelancing, I'm doing that right now, not many people are coming to me, since I'm mainly just doing friends.

Since my actual number is on the card, I feel worried about passing the cards out to random people, don't need any midnight Harold calls..

Had I waited a month or so (I got 500 cards for shipping price), I could've put my google voice number on the card, and had no matter passing them out..

Til they have another promo, I'm mostly passing the cards out to my friends, that I know aren't gonna sign me up for something...enjoyable.

Dont worry about the resume. At 15, nobody is going to expect you to have one, or expect you to have any experience. Just go knock on some doors and ask if they might be interersted in hiring a part time summer employee.
