If you're going to be a computer tech, make sure you know what you're talking about. Don't compare you computer knowledge to the general public. Compare your knowledge with another "real" tech. Last thing the world needs is another useless computer tech...
Aside from that, programming, eBay sales, stuffing envelopes, etc. There's literally a tonne of things, but they depend on your skill level. For example, you could always be an accountant....but you need to know accounting...

Dont be a dealer. You dont wanna be sent to "Pound me in the ass" prision.
You coud deliver things or do cleaning and matenance jobs, or if you are a good artist, sell your work on E-bay, or if your good at writing, do the same as art work.

Actually most Asian countries have the death penalty for dealing in drugs. You don't want to be caught over there with anything illegal. I think Paul McCartney (Beatles) spent a while locked up in a 6'x6'x6' concrete cube in Japan because the local cops caught him with a couple joints. The British government finally got him extradited where he paid a $200 fine and went free. Different cultures, different views on enforcement.

Use your time wisely. Now you are in the best age of learning something really quick and effective. Concentrate on that. Do not waste your precious time on earning a couple of bucks. The more you learn now the better job you will get in very near future. When you are fully grown, the learning ability will decrease, and also you will have to work to support yourself, which will decrease your learning ability even more. Use your time to get ahead of the croud tomorrow, not on getting small cash for today. If you can not think of anything else, just read.
Good luck :)

Don't take this the wrong way, but don't sell webpages. There's a lot more to it then putting a few pictures on a white background.
Even if you get 10 "clients" a week at $5, that's only $50.
Also, don't be a "basic" technician. There is no such thing...Installing CDROMs and Windows is easy...What do you tell the customer when something goes wrong and you can't fix it?

Do they really? Or is it what you've heard from people who are selling this "envelope stuffing kits"?
As for help with computers.. when you do it for free to your friends, it's one thing; when you do it for fee, there comes responsibility. Aaron is absolutely right. Your customer calls you back and says that his PC doesn't work anymore.. and he supposes it's all your fault..

yeah they have been doing it for ahwile, you get like a quarter or so for every envelope....keep them by the TV or something and do them in your spare time....entire is an exaggeration, shes been putting it in the bank for ahwile so there is interest and she also has alot of scholarship money to. but between those two there isnt much left.
