Can you make it at 16??

Question

I am doing a project for school "CAN YOU MAKE IT AT SIXTEEN" Which is supposedly to teach us kids dont get married young. Anyway, I need a job for a 16 year old that has not finished/in high school (without a diploma) and doesn't have any experience. I need a decent salary to pay for rent, bills, and baby stuff. I also need verification that they would hire a sixteen year old. P.S. I'm a 7th grader that could really use your help!!

Answer 1

resturants hire kids once in awhile like waitress and stuff. though it's not easy to pay for all of those things, McDonalds would, Any other fast food would, sometimes grocery stores would. hmmmm i dunno toots thats about it

Answer 2

Some resturaunts will hire sixteen year olds but without the assistance of welfare I see no way that you can make it on that kind of salary. Unless you work 2 jobs but then you'll have to figure child care into your plan unless you have a relative or friend :-) to watch your children.

Answer 3

I would say anything fast food related just off the top of my head.
I worked at sonic at 16 and lived on my own. It was hard at times but you can make decent tips being a car hop and I made it.

Answer 4

well, im in 8th grade and i kno cuz i've been looking ahead @ jobs. i kno that you can be a lifeguard at 16 and make 12 bucks an hour- a lifeguard in chicago told me this, so this is only in chicago park districs as far as i kno -and you dont really do much. you could also work at hair cuttery- my cousin did -and make a decent amount. my last one is domestic work- unwanted chores around other's houses -that can give u a bunch.

Answer 5

good luck to you.You might have been able to do that 50 years ago but not today and without help

Answer 6

wow im in seventh grade too... small fricken world eh?

Answer 7

I've gone through it, you won't. You can think it now, but trust me, you won't.
