What are some after school jobs for a 16 year old in Tokyo, Japan


What are some after school jobs for a 16 year old in Tokyo, Japan?
With a decent wage, enough to pay high school tuition. Its for a writing essay. Thank you. I've chosen a shop assistant/clerk at a florist shop, knowing that the part time wages are between 600Y to 973Y. Its safe to say that even on a 650Y wage, that it should be okay. I want to make it unconventional, thinking outside the box is always fun :)

Private high school tuition is so high that you can't pay it by doing normal jobs for 16 year olds. The only job could be showbiz or something. It's possible to pay public high school tuition which is about $1500 per year. But many schools are not allowing its students to work. Usually, they work at hamburger shops like McDonands or convenience stores like Seven Eleven.

Yeah, as long as your character is going to a public school. A private school, no. But I don't know of any high school students working to pay their way through high school, so the story may be a bit unrealistic.
