A part-time job will be a great opportunity to earn your first money and work out which professional areas you like best. We advise you to try out ‘standard’ ways of making money (like working in shops and fast-food restaurants), freelance jobs, and internships. Any experience will do you a power of good!

I am already looking into ways of investing

Yes

Wow! Amazing! You’ve impressed the entire editorial team!

Details below

No

Maybe you should learn at least the basics. The entertaining videos on YouTube can help you with that!

Details below

The earlier you start to understand investing, the better! It’s investing that will help you earn a passive income, regardless of whether you’re working or not, as an adult. We explain in detail how to make money from deposits, stocks, bonds, investment funds and other instruments in the course “The Young Financier. How to treat money wisely.”

I want to study at school and university first and then build a career and earn money

Yes

In today’s world, this approach is a bit old hat. Building a career (albeit as a freelancer) can start as early as high school!

Details below

No

You’re doing the right thing - the earlier you start, the faster you’ll reach career heights you can’t even dream of now

Details below

We vote for continuous professional development! If you’re already aged between 14-16 and have an idea of the profession you wish to pursue, start exploring blogs, channels and social media accounts dedicated to it. In the process of finding yourself, short courses and free programs that introduce students to various professions will help. You can also go to Lectera like this - come right now!
