A lot depends on what state you live in. Most state have laws about anyone under 18 & work. Also, many states will require a work permit. You should be able to get all the information you need from your school or employment office.\n\nHere is an example of the typical rules (from California)\n\nFourteen and fifteen-year-olds may be employed in the following occupations in the food service and retail industries:\n\n• Office and clerical work, including the operation of office machines.\n• Cashiering, selling, modeling, art work, work in advertising departments, window trimming, and comparative shopping.\n• Price marking and tagging by hand or by machine, assembling orders, packing and shelving.\n• Bagging and carrying out customers orders.\n• Errand and delivery work by foot, bicycle, or public transportation.\n• Cleanup work, including the use of vacuum cleaners and floor waxers, and maintenance of grounds, but not including the use of power-driven mowers or cutters.\n• Kitchen work and other work involved in preparing and serving food and beverages, including the operation of machines and devices used in the performance of this work, including but not limited to, dishwashers, toasters, dumbwaiters, popcorn poppers, milkshake blenders, and coffee grinders.\n• Cleaning vegetables and fruits, and wrapping, sealing, labeling, weighing, pricing, and stocking goods when performed in areas physically separate from areas where meat is prepared for sale and outside freezers or meat coolers.

There are a lot of ways.  You could go get a traditional job depending on the age (I think its 15 or 16 depending on the state).   You could start a business.  I know that sounds silly, but a lot of teens do that, sometimes without even realizing it.   Mowing lawns, doing odd jobs are popular ways.   So is painting and other physical manual labor jobs.   If a teenager is good on a computer, there may be online and website opportunties as well.  \n\nOne idea might be to help neighbors clean out their attics and garages and offer to take their junk away.  Then clean it up and sell it on Ebay or have a garage sale with all the stuff.   There are lots of things really that can be done.  Just be creative.

You can help out your neighbors.  And maybe make a few bucks at the same time.  Mow the lawn, pull weeds, walk someone's dog, clean up the dog poop in back yard, babysit, wash cars....  The last two years I wish I could find a teenager to help me out when I needed it.  And I would've gladly paid for the help.  \n\nMake some sort of flyer to pass out to the neighbors to "advertise".

Most offers you get in spam email are scams.\n\nThe best way for a very young person to get rich is to start the next fad.  In the 70's, a teenager had the idea of selling pet rocks.  In the 80's, a pre teen had the idea of selling cardboard sun shades for car windshields.  Both these young men were millionaires by the time they graduated high school.

WHAT CAN YOU POSSIBLY FIGHT ABOUT AT AGE 14.

I do three different things to make money.  One is on mylot.com  you can do what you are doing here and get paid for it.  Just post questions and answer questions.  It's a nickel and dime thing but it does pay and I do it just to fill in some extra time.  The second is I am an ebay seller.  I sell old stuff that I had around the house, I make lap quilts and sold those or I will even by something really cheap on sale in a store and list it on ebay and make a profit on it.  The third business I have is with Stayin Home and Lovin It!  they are partnered with a wellness company that is 21 years old and a member of the Better Business Buerau.  I do the advertising for the company to sign up people to shop directly with the company.  I enroll them to just shop or to even start their own home business by doing the same.  The response I have gotton has been amazing.  It is no risk and you don't have to do deliveries or taking orders, just bring them to the company and if they want to also work at home with the company you will help them get started.  I have had such great support and training and with really nice people.  There is no risk in trying to see if it is for you.  If you are interested go to http://healthybetterme.com/  and request more information from there.  \n\nA great sourse to look up all companies is at http://search.bbb.org/    there you can search by name, address, or url.  It really saved me form being scamed and if they don't show up on there I wouldn't trust it.  A lot of work at home promises are scams so becareful.

being 13 is a tough age... I had my first job when I was about 14 and I had to have my parent sig on a card saying I had their permission to work at that age.  I got a job as a cashier in the local market and it was really good for me.  Now since you said you didn't want to work in a "place" I would say that there isn't too much options for you... \n\nYou could be a baby sitter,  that pays pretty good for a 13 yr old and it is sometimes fun (depending on the kind of kid/s you are watching)  and then there is dog walking  - or dog grooming/bathing.  Some people would be willing to have you do it for them - especially elderly people.  \n\nYou would have to pound the pavement a little to get the word out though.  Make up flyers saying what you are offering and start posting them on the light posts all around your community.  I would laminate them so that the rain won't ruin them a week after you post them.  Then as time goes on you will get calls and if you are good at what you are offering - your customers will refer you to others and you will get more business that way.  \n\nGood luck.  \n\nBTW - not all home based businesses are a scam... if you start one yourself you can work from home - I do.  I have my own website and sell from it all over the world.  So if you are fired up to make it happen - you can!!  \n\n:)

some fast food restaurants will hire at 14.\nAsk at Mcdonalds, I have heard that some of their stores hire very young people.\n\nI am attaching my response to a previous poster who was 13. You have an advantage, because there are more options for a 14 year old than a 13 year old, but most of the suggestions can still be helpful.Mostly it will be "create it yourself" kind of work. Actual employment for anyone under 14 in the US is unlikely. The restrictions for employees 14-16 cause many potential employers to choose not to employ young people. \n\nSo put on your "thinking cap" and look around you community to find tasks that need to be done, that you think people might pay you to do. Make them an offer a job for a price. Be very business-like and professional, in your appearance, and your conduct, all the time, not just when you are asking them to hire you. You would be amazed at what impressions you make while you are just going about your every day business. Ask people that you have worked for succesfully to give you written references. Ask them if others may call them to ask about the work you did. Offer good references to potential employers to show them that your performed the jobs you were hired to do and gave your customers always more than you agreed to. Always remember to perform beyond the call of duty. It is far better to surprise a customer with more and better work, than to EVER dissapoint one. \n\nCreate your own business. Maybe do this with a friend, and share the jobs. If you get two calls to babysit on a Saturday, instead of having to turn one down, you can each take one, and build up your customer loyalty at the same time. If customers know that when they call you for a job, that even if you cannot take that job, that you can provide someone else to take the job, they will keep your number at the top of their list for future needs. \n\nHave some inexpensive business cards printed with your contact information and very little else. You may change the services you offer, so it is best not to get too specific on the cards because they will likely last a long time. Develop a file of references, both letters from former customers, and people who have agreed to be contacted to verify your work quality.\n\nBe sure to keep records of who pays who for what. If you buy supplies for your business, keep reciepts. Ask your parents for help in this record keeping. If you borrow money to get started, be sure to pay it back.\n\nBest wishes! You can begin your life as an entrepreneur now.

Get working papers from your school counselor... or find a job with a local farmer (if you live in a rural area, but only if you are willing to WORK!) or for an individual who needs help around the home.  There's nothing wrong with yard work!  Any job you do, learn from it and do it well to the best of your ability.  You never know how it may help you down the road as a stepping stone to get a "real" job... a reference you get in the future from a job you have now could lead to great things... not to mention the fact that at 14, you have the initiative to get a job instead of goofing off or playing video games all day.  That says a lot about your character.  Best of luck!
