what if you don't get paid for any work you do
You should join a Union then, go on strike. :P
But, not being paid may be the case if you're say, cutting your parents grass, or washing your dads car.
What I mean, is like, go and offer to do something like that for the neighbours. Just ask them if they'd like you to do that job for them, and that you'd be willing to do it for a price.
(Obviously don't say, "I'll cut your grass for $50" or something stupid like that, because they're not likely to pay you that much. Unless they have like a field or something)
