It's already July and many teenagers are finding themselves out of work as the summer begins, due to increased competition and fewer job openings. So, what can you do if you haven't found a summer job yet? Guest Author Austin Lavin, CEO of myfirstpaycheck.com, the job site for teens, has advice on looking for other ways to earn money and stay busy this summer.

Austin notes that, "One especially appealing option for teens is entrepreneurship. Whether mowing lawns or starting the hottest new social networking site, teens are constantly creating businesses where they see places they can make a difference."

Robert Kennedy says, "I am a sales coach for a major technology reseller. 40 years ago I would have laughed you out of the room had you said in 2008 that I would be responsible for 40 people who have to produce $100 million a year in sales. And are expected to do double digit YOY growth in revenue and profit on top of that."

In addition to being a sales coach, educator, and writer, Rob is the About.com Guide to Private Schools. Rob shares his perspective on sales careers, coaching, and how he landed his dream job following a non-traditional career path, which included the Royal College of Music, the Episcopal Church, and private schools in the Bahamas, to get to where he is today.
