Don't be the lamo that doesn't have any money to spend with friends.  Get a job to get a life! Here is a small guide to get a good summer job in Austin:

1) Apply Early:  Many summer jobs are already taken in the first month of summer, so it is extremely important to apply during the school year, or else you won't have a chance at getting a job at all.

2) Short Commute:  Getting a job with a long commute, not only wastes gas, but is extremely expensive as well. Gas prices are going up and may even get up to 5 dollars.  With a long drive to job you might as well stay home.

3) Finding the Job:  It can be hard to just find a job.  A place to search for jobs is online.  A great site, for Austin jobs is http://www.snagajob.com/jobs/Texas/Austin_jobs.html.  This site helps you find types of jobs (teens, seasonal, Part time, full time . . . ).  Another great site (http://www.simplyhired.com/a/jobs/list/q-research+intern+summer/l-austin,+tx) helps you research on Austin jobs, and applications for internships!

4) Age Matters: When searching for a job most places only want people that are 16 or older.  This is why younger teens should make sure that they apply for places that supports a young community.
