P.T. jobs
I'm looking for a part time job. I'm running out of $$ for tech-nerd purchases 
My hiccup is I want to find something I'm interested in. The nice people at my local telus would gladly take me on (they all know me and know I know a thing or two about mobiles and most of all enjoy fiddling with them and helping people set them up.) , but they can't take me on because I'm not 18. (the whole contract signing mess.)
I have an in at shoppers (family friend) , but don't necessarily enjoy the idea of working the cash. I love technology and computers/mobiles and stuff and that's what I'd like to do ideally.
Problem is I'm in a small town now, so there's less options.
Any ideas? And please not with the "Your first job isn't supposed to be something you like" or something along those lines.

My children variously did well at lifeguard, sailing instructor and Hooter's girl. I don't suppose it's worth you looking at the latter.
Maybe try a dodgy phone store, where they offer dubiously legal services, they likely pay cash. Something like you see in Little Bangladesh.

You want to get yourself a moped and get a paper round.

Or, he could get a snorkel and go golf ball diving at the local golf club before they shut for the winter.
I fear that young Gozo loves his phone so much he thinks it's a career path.

Paper routes are the biggest ripoff ever. $15 every 2 weeks? Ha! Last I checked that isn't even minimum wage
