Re: Jobs at 16 (help. very specific)
Agreed with what everyone else has said, but if you want some real advice on making money...
Get your foot in the door at a restaurant. You will start off getting a crappy position most likely, but if you stick around long enough and do good work they will train you to be a waiter, and that's where the big bucks come in (tips). Once you spend a while there, you can potentially move up to a nicer restaurant. Expensive food = high tips. But don't expect to work at a place like that until you have the experience.
That's probably the best bet you have for making good amounts of money at a pretty young age. You won't get near enough to buy that crazy car, but if you work hard you'll get a well-padded wallet.
The weddings are good for a quick boost of money, but you really can't count on that for regular income unless you have serious connections or are well-established in the.. wedding-music market (?!). People don't just get married constantly around you, and when they do, they tend to go for the gold and hire established musicians for their fancy parties. I understand that you can get one now and then, but don't count on doing it most weeks of the year.
