Teens can work at 16. Just need a permitt which is easy to get. Do a search type in Child Labor Laws and your state to find out how to get one. Also in some states the min age without a permit is 16 others 18. it all depends on the start. \nhttp://www.doli.state.mn.us/childlbr.html\n\nhttp://www.dwd.state.wi.us/er/labor_standards_bureau/child_labor_laws.htm\n\nhttp://www.dol.state.ga.us/em/child_labor.htm\n\nhttp://www.dol.ks.gov/ES/html/child_DEE.html

You could help them around the house as much as possible by cleaning, fixing or doing chores for them. Especially if there is something they need to pay someone else to do (like house painting or yardwork). There are many places you could work at 17, including resturants, grocery or retail stores, washing cars, anything. If you can afford to buy your own food and transportation you will unload a huge burden from your parents.

Unfortunately, there aren't many things available that's legal to hire anyone under 16, and even then it's restricted to menial labor jobs. You're best bet is to become self-employed. Decide what you want to do, use your pc to create a leaflet to distribute in the area you want to work in, post it at some approiate places, can also create some personal business cards and pass them out. If tutoring appeals to you, leave a business card at grade schools, child care facilities, ect. \n\nLawn service, $10-$30 for mowing, same for leaf raking and disposal more for a large area, less for small area\n\npet service (walking dogs, tending to pets when their owner's are away, ect), Should be minimum wage, or whatever you can negociate\n\nnewspaper delivery, (200 papers @ $.10 per = $20 per day\n\ntutoring younger students, baby-sitting, house-sitting (watering flowers, ect) = earn while you learn, you can do your home work and tutor at the same time\n\nwashing cars, snow removal if you live where it snows, cleaning snow off of one driveway can earn you $20-$30, \n\nThe problem employers have with hiring teenages is insurance,  liability laws and child labor laws. Apparently there's exceptions for migrant farm workers, or the laws are not enforced as stringently as they are for US citizens.

It depends on how under-aged you are. Some places around here hire summer help at 14 years old. You could always offer to do housework for friends and family. You don't want to go up to people you don't know, but it is generally safe to assume that your parents wouldn't direct you somewhere unsafe. \nYou could clean, rake leaves, shovel...\nYou could also get a paper route. They hire real young for that. Our paper boy is like 8.

Most retail jobs hire at age 16 and up, especially luxury stores like Neimans/Saks and even Macys. I work at Sunglass Hut and I know that you have to be 18 to work there.

When I was 14 I had two jobs, both off the books.  I know newspapers will often hire 14 year olds to deliver papers and that is legal and on the books.

I'm pretty sure it's illegal for a company to hire someone your age (I think 16 is the cutoff) so you have to be business savvy and do odd jobs wherever you can that other people don't want to do and would rather pay someone else to do for them.\n\nCan you get your parents to pay you to do odd jobs around the house that you normally are not expected to do as part of your normal responsibilities?\n\nMaybe your first lesson on this subject would be to learn to "wheel and deal".  Then once you become an expert at certain jobs, maybe you can then get friends to pay you to do those same jobs for them.  Whatever you do, it's important to become really good at that job so people prefer that you do the job instead of them doing the job themselves.  It's not good if people feel that they can do the job better than you.  You don't want people to hire you as a "favor" to you.  You want them to hire you because they know you'll do a better job at it than they will.  That will always help your pride and self-esteem.\n\nThe best part about creating your own job is that you get to choose what you will do to get your money.  Of course it has to be something that people want but you still make the final choices in the beginning.  And you can change jobs whenever you want.  It's so much better than working at one  job for someone else where they can boss you around all the time.\n\nGood luck!  And be careful dealing with people you don't know.  Be sure your parents always know what you're doing and where you're at before you do it.  They will always help keep you safe.

If a teenager can handle the job, then sure.  I bet there is at least one 17 year old in a community somewhere... who is smarter than one 51 year old... somewhere.
