Money-making opportunities for Teens
Summer is usually a time for teenagers to get off the couch, get a summer job, and start to learn how to make a living. But it might be more difficult to do that this year because of the financial crisis and large number of people out of work.
But don't give up - there are ways to find a summer job. CNN's Fredricka Whitfield talks to Sharon Lechter, author of the book "Three Feet from Gold," and head of the financial education group "Pay Your Family First."

I was in my 50's when I went back to school to get my degree in Paralegal Studies. The summer before my final year, I volunteered at the State's Attorney office, office of Victim/Witness. As a volunteer I did your basic gopher duties as well as helped children who had to appear in court in child abuse/sexual assalt cases. Later that year while still in school, I got a call from the State's Attorney's Office offering me a job as a Paralegal! All because I volunteered that summer to do gopher work. My advise: volunteer where you want to work full time.
