DON'T go for those. While I admire your love for your family, it's best that you don't go for those things where a company sends you something to sell. Chances are, those are pyramid schemes, and all they're going to do is take more of your money. You will NOT making money with those things. Best thing to do at your age is apply for a job at a fast food restaurant. You're 15 and that is the minimum legal age to start working. Good luck.

Are you sure you can't work at a fast food place? My daughter worked at McDonald's when she was 15. There were some things she wasn't permitted to do, like operate the deep frying machines or line cook. But she was permitted to work drive-through and the cash registers. Some places will hire a 15 year old if you get working papers. Your school can help you with those. In fact, your school guidance office might have a list of job requests; ours did when my kids were in school.
Those work-at-home assembly jobs are often not legit, and expect you to pay money up front for supplies. That's not a good thing to do.
I admire you for trying to help out your family. Good luck!

try searching a franchise close to you that is prepared to employ a 15 year previous. i actually am 14 and desire a job extremely badly so i have performed some study. the position I stay (Canada) Mc Donald's will employ a 15 year previous, inspite of the indisputable fact that it would want to be diverse the position you stay. My sister at the moment works at Swiss Chalet and may want to be getting me a job there next year. fairly a lot any the position might want to employ a 15 year previous yet on condition that they mandatory a worker (different applicants with extra adventure or an older age might want to be employed over you and also you does not be allowed to be a waitress, etc. you may want to likely be sweeping flooring, or hostessing, or operating contained in the lower back) even possibly ask little shops in case you may want to help out and receives a fee for it. it would want to take a even as to locate a job and get $three hundred. frequently on the suitable of a month you'll receive round $one hundred and fifty on minimum salary or decrease because you're lower than age. Jobs are troublesome to locate for someone at your age, yet strong success and that i wish this allows!

I don't know what state you are in but there are many states in which, with a work permit, you CAN work in certain jobs... retail, office cleaning, fast food, etc. Talk to your school's guidance counselor's office about a work permit.

No those kits aren't usually any good, sorry. Do you have any assisted living facilities or retirement communities where you live? Older people need help with really basic things, things that don't seem like a big deal to you but would mean the world to them. Do a flyer and see if you can post it on the bulletin boards of some retirement communities.

I wouldn't advise selling stuff for a company, I say just wait until you turn 16 years old and apply for jobs in your area.
