Generally children are not allowed to work legally except like a paper route, delivery boy, cutting grass, baby sitting, etc. UNLESS you want to work on a farm.
At the age of 14 some places will let you work for the summer or a few hours after school, amusements parks, zoos, humane society. Pay will be minimum wage or slightly better.
Department of Labor says:
Youths age 14 and 15 may work outside school hours in various nonmanufacturing, nonmining, nonhazardous jobs under the following conditions: no more than three hours on a school day, 18 hours in a school week, eight hours on a non-school day, or 40 hours in a non-school week. In addition, they may not begin work before 7 a.m. nor work after 7 p.m., except from June 1 through Labor Day, when evening hours are extended until 9 p.m. Those enrolled in an approved Work Experience and Career Exploration Program (WECEP) may work up to 23 hours in school weeks and three hours on school days (including during school hours).

We have child labor laws here in the US. The only job you can get is doing yard work for your neighbors, and maybe babysitting. And that would be a couple of dollars per hour.
