what jobs can 14 year olds get?

Answer 1

i got a job when i was 14 at a privately owned day care center. it was a real job, but for some reason in texas you can hire a kid at 14 if the company has ur parents signature. i'm not sure what state you live in, but look into privately owned places....like maybe the local auto-parts store if its not Carquest or one of those big name places.

See if there is anything close by like a burger place (not mcdonalds) but a Mike's Burger Stand or something privately owned. Good luck.

Answer 2

There is some fast food places that will give you a job but there will not let you work alot of hours. you can also look for older ladies that need help arould the house, or get a paper route and maybe see if your parents, older brothers and sisters would pay you to do some stuff for them. Also you can ask family members

Hope this 'bumff' helps! (applies for UK)

The Children and Young Persons Act (1933) sets 14 as the minimum age at which children may be employed, and gives the following restrictions:

No child shall do any work other than light work. ‘Light work’ in this case is defined as tasks and working conditions which would not be harmful to the safety, health or development of children, and would not compromise their education.
A 14 year old may not work for more than five hours on a Saturday or any other day (other than a Sunday) during the holidays. On a Sunday a 14 year old may only work 2 hours.
On a school day, a 14 year old may not work: during school hours; before 7.00am or after 7.00pm; for more than 2 hours a day; or for more than 12 hours in any school week.
In the holidays a 14 year old may not work for more than 25 hours in any week, or for more than four hours in any day without a rest break of one hour.
A child must have at least two consecutive non-school weeks a year without work.

In addition to this, children are not allowed to work in the following areas:

Street trading (though some local authorities do allow children of 14 to be employed by their parents in street trading)
Performing abroad (without a specific licence from a justice of the peace)
Scrap metal sales
Betting shops
Petrol Stations
House to house charitable collections

Also, although children between the ages of 14 and 16 may be employed in industry (subject to the restrictions on hours), employers have to keep a register of all employees under 16 and their dates of birth.

The National Minimum Wage does not apply to workers under 16.

The kind of jobs teenagers can do
Delivering newspapers.
Many teenagers will get up early to deliver newspapers to houses in their local area before going to school. They are known as Paperboys or Papergirls.

Babysitting
Looking after young chidren in their home whilst their parents have gone out for the evening is a popular job for teenagers, as they get paid for watching children and television all at the same time!

Helping the Milkman on his round
From the age of 14 some teenagers help the milkman deliver milk to houses. - yeah...whats a milkman?

Other popular jobs include:

Agricultural or horticultural work.
Working in a shop.
Working in a hairdressers.

Washing cars (not in a garage).
In a café or restaurant.
Working in a riding stables.
Domestic work in hotels.

Answer 4

Depending on the laws in your state you may be able to get work permits and/or parental permission to get a regular job. I can't imagine many places beyond McDonalds and the like would hire someone that young though.

Answer 8

Not much. You can try mowing lawns in the spring and summer, shovel snow in the winter, make and sell Lemonade and brownies, cookies, and muffins in the warm months, clean leaves from people's yards in the fall, and walk dogs. That's about all you can really do for jobs right now.

Babysiter
