Federal child labor law (found in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and in Title 29, United States Code of Federal Regulations, Part 570) says that minors ages 14 or 15 can work in any non-manufacturing, non-production, non-distribution, non-transportation, non-warehousing employment. That essentially leaves things like child care, retail, food service, janitorial, etc., open to you. In addition to the occupation restrictions, federal law also limits the hours 14 and 15 year olds can work to those not before 7:00 a.m., not after 7:00 p.m. (except June 1 through Labor Day, you can work until 9:00 p.m.), no more than 3 hours a day on days when school is in session and no more than 18 hours a week during weeks when school is in session, and no more than 8 hours a day on days when school is not in session and no more than 40 hours a week during weeks when school is not in session.
For more specific information on federal child labor laws, look at Title 29 of the US Code of Federal Regulations, Part 570, or contact the US Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division, at www.dol.gov or 1-866-4US-WAGE.
Of course, your state might have child labor laws that are more restrictive. To find out, call your state labor department or contact your Lieutenant Governor's office (the numbers should be in the blue (or government) pages of your telephone book).
Also, note that just because a business legally could hire a person at 14 or 15, doesn't mean they *have* to. Many times insurance companies will not insure businesses with employees under the age of 16, and there could be many more valid business-related reasons why an employer chooses to have a minimum age for employment that is higher/older than the one set by law.
Hope this helps!

In a lot of states the age is 16. But there are some states where you have to be 18 unless you have a work permit given to you by the city. You'll need to have some form of id and your social security card, but other than that you just have to be specific about how many hours you're willing to work! Try to find a place that doesn't start you off at minimum wage! Aim high! If you're qualified, then you should be fine!
