In today's economic climate it tough for teens to find jobs after school and in the summer. Quite a few traditional jobs for teens have been phased out or are being done by grown people. But you do not need to expend time applying for jobs and praying someone will employ you. It is possible to make your own job and provide a genuine service to people. You can start your personal dog walking service.
You heard right. Dog walking is a growing industry in today's busy world. Even in this tight economy, the American Pet Products Association estimates Americans will spend $45.5 BILLION dollars on their pets this year. That's a 5% increase from 2008 and a 60% increase from 2001. Men and women are spending much more on their pets during a period when retail sales are 30% lower than the 12 months before.
Obviously, where you live will have a good deal to do with the demand for dog walkers. Cities are ideal and areas in which you can find many apartments and condos. You'll have a tougher time in rural locations. If a dog has a farm to run around on he won't need to be walked. But there are a lot of individuals willing to pay another person to walk their dogs.
Consider it for just a minute. Do you live in the city or even a medium to large town? Are there apartments near where you are living? If you could answer "yes" to those questions, then there's likely a demand for a dog walking service where you live.
There are many good advantages to having a teenager job like dog walking. First, you set your own hours. Design your schedule around school and even leave time to be with friends. The most essential thing is that if you ever tell somebody you'll walk their dog at a distinct time, be positive to do it. Your clients will come to trust and depend on you.
Second, you can be your own boss. You will be undertaking the work and guess what, you get to keep all of the income. You set the rates, you make the schedule, you decide who to work for. Perhaps you do not like pit bulls or toy poodles. You do not need to walk pit bulls or toy poodles. You are in charge of your enterprise.
Lastly, and this is really a huge one, no prior knowledge is needed. This can be a fantastic teen job in which it is possible to obtain experience. When a customer no longer needs you or you choose to quit, you can ask for a letter of recommendation to show future employers you're a very good and efficient worker. Letters like that impress employers.
It is incredible what men and women will pay another person to do the work they do not have time to do. Why can't the person they pay to walk their dogs be you? It's simple and you'll be able to truly earn money, but it's work. For anyone who is trustworthy and if you want to earn money, look into this great teen job.
