Why not try to 'apprentice' somewhere for a while and make yourself useful, and then try to get the boss to hire you after you've learned and proven yourself.

I know you can do it here in Toronto through a high school co-op program, so you get school credit for it too.

Dont know if anyone is going to actually PAY someone with no experience, but through the CO-op, you 'll at least be getting something.

I agree with Buffdaddy....I was in the RAP program through my school for a year...(registered apprenticeship program) and I learned alot, also did get payed 10$/hr to learn how to be a welder. The boss hired me after a year and I was then making 15$/hr while going to school. I was 16 when I started to get moeny...

Made more money then than I do now.
