My son is 15 and wants to work after school p/t are there jobs for somebody that young?

Answer 1

My husband usually hires after-school boys to help with light jobs at his lawn & garden equipment shop, he does retail, maintenance & repair.

I think about any trade shop (mechanic, carpenter, car wash, etc.) would have a need for relatively cheap, "extra" help. Not only will your son get the experience from that job, but employees of those small shops are face-to-face with lots of people who work lots of different jobs, so he can make quite a few contacts for future employment.

15 is old enough. Check with school on requirements of or if working papers are necessary.
I got my first job by checking with my High School Guidance Office . They use to have info on local businesses looking for high school kids. Also have him stop by local Pizza joints if they have a restaurant portion they often have Bus Boy positions. Your son should tell them he is willing to learn.
Local supermarkets may be a way to get his first experience while looking around for something he really likes.
From web site abt Student working papers:
in some states, if you're under eighteen, you may need to obtain working papers (officially called Employment / Age Certificates) in order to legally be able to work. The best place to find out if you need working papers is your school guidance office. If you need working papers, the counselors can give him the form that will need to completed or tell him where to get one.

Answer 3

Part time jobs at that age can be found where ever they look. Some more probable places are walmart, zellers, Mc Donalds..etc.. they will be no glory but they will result in a pay cheque, reference and job expirience.

Answer 4

It depends on the state you live in. I live in Texas, and my brother did some research when he was 14 and learned that he was already allowed to work, but only in certain places. anyone under 18 is not allowed to sell/serve alcohol or cigarettes. they are allowed to work in fast food restaurants and grocery stores picking up carts or bagging groceries. It all depends on store policies, but if he does his research and applies at enough places, he should get hired soon.

Answer 5

Grocery stores, they always need sackers and I hear they make pretty good tips!
