Work for an 18 Year old?

    I just need some advice and assisted outlook on jobs for an 18 year old. Basically in a nutshell I have finished secondary school and I am looking to get a job part time or full time just to nab some cash and take up time. I have been looking around at most kinds but of course many of them require some form of experience over a certain time line which of course I do not have. I am not picky where I work but to be fully honest, I do not want to work anywhere near food, just in general, I don't like handling food that is not mine.
    In terms of what I do for hobbies I work with computers quite often, building and repairing them and of course using them quite a lot but again when I look for a job with computer in any field it obviously requires me to have listed experience of some sort. I honestly just need some advice and help being pointed in the right direction, any and all help is appreciated.

    If you are a grafter then go out and tell local small businesses that you are a grafter and will be an asset to them

    Don't do this in casual clothes and find out who owns or runs a place before you go in

    I wanted a fella I know to work for me
    Asked him to find out three things he failed quickly and with great gusto

    Why?; because he dosent know how things work, if you want to knOw who runsa business ask the business next door, they will either know or know who to ask

    I run a business and I would employ even young man that came through the door well dressed and knowing his stuff. If he was any good after that I'd probably keep him.
