Part-time jobs for 15 year olds in the middle of nowhere
So basically I live in a very rural Welsh town, where part-time jobs are rarer than HENS TEETH I tell you. When I go to sixth form I'll be in a city where there probably are jobs, but for the mean time, does anyone have any ideas as to how I can earn some money? (For more context I'm already on Vinted, and I have emailed some businesses around me but they just don't have anything. It seems that, unless you having family connections, there's no way to get in to any of the places around where I live!)
Anyways

Quite a few places require you to be 16. Some also require you to have finished school (ie. the end of june in year 11). Basically they require you to be 16 because a) the rules and regulations surrounding employing under 16's and b) people dont get their national insurance number until not long before they are 16.
Have you tried a paper round?
Smaller independent places (i.e. not chains) are more likely to take on under 16's. Try restaurants, cafes, take aways etc.

Thank you! A few people from my year have gigs at cafes etc. but I'm pretty sure their parents were involved. I'll try anyway, so thanks again

I know a few people who've done this but I'm not exactly the farm type... by that I mean I have ZERO experience with farm work, especially compared to all the farm-raised kids that get those jobs. Is it still worth a shot?

Nobody has any experience of any working environment until they try. Friends I know worked on farms before attending University for veterinary medicine hence why I suggested it. I was quite surprised how much money they made per day milking cows.
Because of the nature of the environment and working hours and conditions (i.e. hot, cold, freezing, rain etc etc) you may be surprised how much money you can earn as there is a shortage of labour in general and in particular in rural areas. Don't sell yourself short, either just because you are 15. If you're doing work an adult would otherwise do you should be receiving the national minimum wage. Play your cards right and you could have holiday work for the duration of Uni. There is a substantial amount of farm work you can do with just your hands. Just bear in mind farms and machinery can be dangerous (I have seen some interesting injuries from farming and construction turn up in the emergency department) so insist on full and proper training and decent PPE if required. Any decent employer will be keen to have you if you are enthusiastic and turn up on time reliably. You'll get fit as well: my friends said that their phones would usually report that they had walked 10,000 steps (roughly 5 miles) by 10am in the morning at work.
