What is a person from Scotland called?
As a person of Scottish descent, I prefer to be called a Scot, or a Scotsman but never Scotch. Scotch is now mainly used to describe food and drink - Scotch Whisky (Scotch for short in some countries), Scotch broth etc. It was originally an English shortening of the word Scottish and used by the Scots themselves as well as the English in the 18th century including Robert Burns and later Sir Walter Scott before reverting to the older titles in the 19th century of Scots or Scottish.
What kind of job can a 10-year-old have besides a paper route?
wash cars, baby sit, mow lawns, lemonade stand, rummage sales, that's all i got
Several ways including
You are so young that I would suggest just asking your parents if you can help around the house for a little money, but if you realy want a proper job, then there are certain things you can do. These include:
- ** Looking in newspapers/magazines/online (<------ BE VERY CAREFUL ONLINE AND ALWAYS TELL A PARENT/GUARDIAN WHAT YOU ARE DOING)
- Helping around the house and/or doing extra jobs for family members
- Placing adverts in shop windows (<---Do NOT give out any personal information and if you do, tell your parent/guardian.)
- Post leaflets (make sure you have a licencse)
You can do household chores like:
- Cleaning your room
- Doing the dishes
- Mowing the lawn
- Watering the garden
- Doing the laundry
- Making your bed
- Sweeping the floor
And/or you can help neighbors by:
- Babysitting
- Pet sitting
- Mowing the lawn
- Watering the garden
- Getting the newspaper
Don't try lemonade stands: They cost more than the profit.
All of these are good jobs. Don't charge over fifteen dollars or you won't get the job. Ten dollars is the way to go.
