you need to obtain an application from the place you want to work.. usually, you'll need parental approval - you're under 16 yrs of age.

At that age, work under the table at some Mom & Pop store.  Maybe an ice cream stand.  Maybe babysitting?

Go and apply at any fast food restaurant. I'm sure they will hire 16 year olds.

Ok well I'm 14 really but the youngest age you can work at "legally" is 15. I have a job with my nieghbor so im a lucky exception. I suggest you go arround and ask nieghbors about doing yard work or watching pets when they are away or baby sitting.

Try asking your local school if they have any work programs for youth in my city we have a program called SPEEDY , (Summer Program Employment Education Department for Youth) you could always consider getting a job at a summer camp as a CIT (Counselor in Training). Good Luck \n\nOr you can make signs and offer to babysit that worked for me when I was 14.

It depends on the state. At 15 she would probably need a permit of some sort. Search for your state's website and look up employment laws.

YOU CAN BE A PAPER BOY, WORK AS A VOLUNTEER TO BUILD A WORK HISTORY; THE LAW SAYS AS A CHILD YOU ARE LIMITED TO HOURS I.E. SCHOOL, CURFEW ETC.  MOST COMPANIES WILL NOT HIRE YOU BECAUSE OF LIABILITY ISSUES.  NOTHING SAYS YOU CAN'T SET UP A STORE, TRY SELLING JUNK ON EBAY OR FLEA MARKET.  MONEY IS EVERY WHERE YOU JUST NEED TO LOOK.

It's pretty much illegal to give someone under 16 a job, or a "real" job because of child labor laws. So some places give jobs to 15 year olds, but the laws are so strict even they can't work more than about 15-20 hours a week, so most places won't even bother with you until you're 16. \nTry getting a job helping out a parent, babysitting, or start selling things on ebay.\n\nps. I'm from Texas too :D, cept the DFW area, originally Houston.

It depends on the legal frame of the country you are in. Most countries do not allow children under the age of 16 to have a regular job.  However, a summer job or a part time job which is suitable to the child's health, age and mental condition may be sustained.  Some of these jobs may be: car washing, delivering news papers, pet walking, reading for 4-5 years old children at some day cares.

You have to find out what the rules are in your state. If you can work at 15 a good place to find employment is at a golf course. There are many jobs to do there that are fun and interesting. If you can not get a job in the workplace. Babysitting, newspaper carriers (if they stillexisist in your state) or cutting lawns are all goodways of earning extra cash. They keep you outside and you don't have to say, "Would you like fries with that?"

Actually, children start as young as they can find employers around the globe. \n\nAnyway, in the US, it's believed that if kids work, so manage their own finances, from a younger age, it will improve their chances of knowing how to handle larger sums later on; besides, it's experience. \n\nMany other countries allow employment of children under 18 years of age. I think most places, if one is over 14, one can get work even without his/her parents' explicit permission. There are rules regarding children exploitation, but... sometimes, working for the summer is much better than staying at home.

Hello Meg. I got a job when I was 15 and have had many friends who have worked at a younger age, so perhaps I can provide a few ideas. Connections are always one good way to find work (through family or friends). Also, places that always seem to be hiring teenagers are grocery stores, the food industry (fast food places) and retail stores (such as places in the mall). Another place you could try include day camps. Also, you could run your own business, such as for lawn care, snow removal or tutoring. These could be good, as you can work your school schedule around them. Good luck finding a job!

Your 16 year old should be able to get a job without too much trouble...either waitressing, fast food or sales clerk.  She can also do any of those listed below.\n\nIn many states, you can not be formally employed before the age of 15. I lived in Michigan for 8 years and you do have to be 15 there.  But the 14 year old can still do:\na paper route\nmow lawns for others\nshovel snow in winter\noffer a dog walking service \nbabysitting\nhousecleaning

There are few opportunities out there for minors, especially on the web. Your best bet is to look at the "jobs" or "careers" link on any of the pages you visit (even Google or Yahoo) and see if anything fits your criteria.
