Answer 1

Firstly, can you legally get a job at 14? I can't remember when I could legally get a job, but I think it was 15 or so.

In any case, go around to local businesses, and as long as you're personable, anyone would want to hire you. My advice is to get a job that you won't mind doing too much, wich can get you a decent bit of money. Don't worry about focusing on a job you love, because you'll get there eventually.

I totally aplaud you're willingness to get a job so young.

Answer 2

In my state the labor law age is 14 too, and I want a job too, what I plan to do is apply at a couple of sit down restaurants, and some retail places at the mall, the only thing about retail places is sometimes they pay you on commission which means that they pay you based on how much money you make selling the merchandise. You can also be fired because of commission. Unfortunately for me I won't be 14 for 6 months.

Answer 3

ok, here's the best advice you'll ever get ---- WAIT!

You'll have to work all your life. That's about 45 to 50 years of working. Why are you in such a rush to get started? Wait a couple of years until you *have* to work and then jump in there. Take the time to be 14 and enjoy life without the added pressure of working. Concentrate on doing well in school so that when you do have to work, you'll be better qualified for better jobs. Don't be satisfied with a floor mopping job! Shoot higher! Be a kid now and worry about working later on.

Answer 4

you know i have the exact same problem i am 13 too and i have checked pizza places and stores they all say 16 but if you try hard enough you can find one place for i found an I.G.A. that will let me work if....that is if they have an opening when i turn 14 and i have to have school aproval so like i need the school to call him or something to let the manager know i have good grades but the best chance for a job you have is probably bagging which id say is good when you dont pay the bills.... ;]

Answer 5

Hun..Im tellin you dont work untill your 16 or 17. You are going to be working the rest of you life. Take you childhood time and enjoy you life. Go play some sports and hang out with your friends. If you realy want the money find a baby sitting job. Dont rush growing up. I regret working at a young age. I didnt get to do half the stuff I wanted to do. Now its to late...

Answer 6

i'm 13 and I babysit all the time. it's a fun and easy way to make money. i also tutor but I do that for free.

first you have to get working papers you can probably get them from your guidence office at school.

try getting something easy first. like maybe a small shift at a pet store stocking things or taking care of the animals if they'll let you. try getting something at your local library that's what i'm doing as soon as I turn 14. I'm also going to try to become a waitress at kim's diner down the street from my house before i go to the library.

good luck

Answer 7

Ok you are in the same position i was in except for the fact my parents own pizzahutt franchise's and i have job there whenever i want but i love to be independent so what i did was print out my resume containing name, school attending and grade, interests, and of cause accomplishments and hten take it around to all the shops and just hand them in and plus at mc'donald's you onley have'to be thirteen so i wouldnt worry plus the often hold you're resume for up to 5 months usually three untill the contact you if you got the job good luck

Answer 9

You have to get a work permit to work at the age of 14 from your school. Most places now days you have to be either 16 or over 18. You can probably be a bagger at grocery store, push carts, work at an arcade like brunswick zone(bowling alley) places like that, be a greeter at a store, or do some kind of babysitting or yard work.

I started working at a campground at the age of 14 I had to get a work permit though to do it, so you would have to probably, well at least my state requires it.

Answer 10

Fill out an application. This is not rocket science. McDonalds is always hiring the mentally challenged to sweep floors and clean windows (although they drool on them more than they clean them). Give it a shot!
