964886
The advantages of having a job at 16 is first you will have an edge to your co-ages because not all 16's do not do this responsibily in their life, second you could have a training in every tasks that you may apply, third you will learn discipline and the value of money, fourth, you can put this experiences in your resume at the time you were applying for your dream job in the future and fifth, you will be more responsible and mature in handling important things in your life. But the advantages of it are, first, you will get somehow shocked or somehow unready for having a job at a young age, second, you will somehow get distracted from your studying because you get to have another things to be work for, third, having a big responsibility at a very young age, fourth, your physical health, your time for sleep or relaxing, will be set aside, and fifth, working at sixteen could make you feel outsider or not "in" with your co-agers because instead of being with them you still have to work.

unfortunately nothing... you are never guaranteed a job no mater what your age... and the min wage laws are different for every state but what I have heard is that if you are under 16 there is a different wage because you can not do the full job of someone over 16.

Reflecting back on the days when I was sixteen, I didn't have many cares.  Granted, there was school work, an after school job and a few minor concerns, but that was basically it.\n\nAs an adult, there are quite a few more realitites to deal with.  You nailed one of the major ones, that being keeping up with the bills.  You also have to deal with work and the tensions that come with work.  Commute times to get to work, taxes, trying to balance your budget so you can afford the things you need.  \n\nOnce you get married, should you choose to do so, then you have other concerns, such as taking care of your significant other.  Taking care of the children and providing for them, once they come along.  Ensuring that you can provide for medical care and taking out a life insurance policy, should the worst happen to you.\n\nAs you get a little older and stress has taken its toll on your mind and body, you get to look forward to health issues cropping up.  High blood pressure, high cholesterol, high stress, and other physical manifestations of injuries past.  \n\nThose are the hard parts, but there are many good parts too.  It all balances out and things will come in due time.  As a young adult, you'll probably be able to count on your parents to help out should things get too bad.

you cant get a job till your 16. Maybe 15, but it's usually 16. But you could get a job when your 14 like these... \nbaby-sitting\ndog-sitting or walking\nlawn-moing, gardening and things like that.\nmaybe if you are old enough you can work at a grocery store and bag items or something like that; that's where a lot of teenagers start off besides working at the mall.

Advantages...\n-a chance for higher salaries\n-be around all types of people (opens your mind to new things)\n-increase your career and future opportunities\n-gain much more knowledge\n-greater sense of responsibilities\n-enjoy your young adult life\n\nDisadvantages:\n-does not guarantee success\n-costs too much\n\nI think college is a good way to really learn about yourself and to learn about other people.  But the career opportunities is up to you, if you intern or study abroad, you have a greater chance at getting a great job upon graduation.  I think it's a good opportunity,  but go with your heart.  I thought college was worth it, even though Im doing something totally different than what I graduated in.

Legally? No. You can't legally get a job until you're at least 16.\n\nTry babysitting, making candles or soaps and selling it online, helping your mom sell Mary Kay (teenagers LOVE make-up!) and taking a cut. There are TONS of ways.

I was the supervisor for the B & N in my neck of the woods.  You can be 16 (you need to be mature in attitude).  It is a really great place to work provided you love books, you get a really great discount, and you like helping people.  Its a fast paced work envoriment but very relaxed.  Good Luck.

No negatives.\n\nSomeday all kids will have to aplly for a job or college or whatever... \n\nfreedom of expresion on your on time... \n\nbut when it's time to get down to business (what ever that may be) put your best foot fwd and you'll never be dissapointed.\n\nTeach them what it takes to manage in the real world and then when they are out in it, they can do as they please.
