Answer 1

The main reason why you can't work most places before you turn 16 is because child labor laws greatly restrict the number of hours you can work and safety laws/regulations restrict the type of equipment you can work with. If you really want to find a job, try going to the mom and pop type businesses - especially places like local video stores (as opposed to Blockbuster or Hollywood). If your school has a career center, you could also check with them to see if they can refer you.

Answer 2

I remember being 14, 15, 16, 17 and looking for jobs, and being frustrated that I would never get hired. But from an employer's perspective, its pretty rough. There are so many child labor laws they have to contend with, they can only have you work so many hours in a week, only certain hours of the day, and it gets even more restrictive once the school year starts again, which can be inconvenient as far as making up the schedule. You'll likely have better luck applying somewhere with many employees, a supermarket or a Wal Mart or something like that. That's where most kids are going to get their start. Also, if they're hiring an office assistant they're looking for someone with a few years of experience. No matter how qualified you think you are, I'm just warning you, don't shoot too high yet, everyone has to start somewhere. And also, I understand the drive you have to want to work, but if you're pregnant, and going to be delivering and caring for a newborn child within a few months, now is not a good time to start a job. My first job I started with the full knowledge that I had a full school schedule and a surgery coming up within a few months, and deep down I knew it was a bad time to start but dammit I wanted to work, but it just didn't work out, I lost the job because of my screwy schedule, got depressed, and couldn't use them as a reference. So I was basically back to square one. Luckily I have a job now but as far as practical references and experience goes I may as well not have spent the few months working there that I did. You have to be realistic.
