Answer 1

I am 57 1/2'', and I am 14! I don't think the height matters if you are going to get a job. But yes I do think you will be able to get a job. Here I think they pay like 8 bucks an hour, not suree. But If you can't get a job here are some ideas:(

My Rates

1-2 kids ~ $5.00/hour
Each additional child ~ $1.25/hour

*When you are babysitting a baby under 10 months old, you should ask to be paid a bit more than your regular charge, since you must give more attention, change the baby, feed the baby, and put the baby to bed.

Another Idea is to have a bake sale/ lemonade stand. Me and my sisters baked all week, made poster signs and decided how much we should charge for each baking good. Any age is perfect for this job!

Another good job is to start a walking dogs for neighbors that have dogs. You can either put up posters around town, or hand out fliers to people you know that have dogs. I would charge 5 dollars per dog.

Another good job is to wash cars, or open a car wash buisness with friends for a few days, mow the lawn, shovel drive ways in the winter, and help people clean there house that might need help.

You could also work at fast food restaurtants, or grocery stores too

Answer 2

To tell the truth you will probably have a difficult time in the service sectors. I suggest that you have an adult help you assess your skills and willingness to work and create your own jobs. Are you willing to the best job and be dependable? I will always hire a teen that will do honest work. Neighbors need their lawns mowed, babies sat, houses cleaned, etc etc. Whatever endeavor you set out to do do it well and back up your work. There are too many people who do half hearted jobs.. Do the job well, go the extra mile and you will be swamped in work. I would more than glad to help you as much as you want, perhaps even invest in your business. It is up to you and I am available to give you any suggestions based on my work history from the age of six years old. I congratulate you for wanting to earn your own money and the only way to make any is to work for yourself. You will have to have the approval of your parents or caregivers. Hopefully they will support you wholeheartedly in this. Click on my profile and email me (with approval and supervision) if you want guidance. Go for it!!!!

Answer 3

You need to check with the local Dept of Labor to find out what the laws in your state are concerning employment of minors. There are restrictions on where you can work and how many hours per week.

If you aren't old enough to drive and don't have access to public transportation consider setting yourself up in some kind of service capacity; dog walking, housesitting, lawn care, etc. If you can provide references and are reliable you will have more clients than you know how to handle. Start yourself out at minimum wage and increase your prices as your reputation grows.

Answer 4

As per law, anyone under eighteen years of age is considered a minor. Many businesses hesitate to employ minors because of the legal restrictions on working hours and documentation required. A better option is to work from home on your computer- write articles,sell on eBay,make a website,take surveys. More details are available at http://www.pcworkathome.net/jobsforminors.html

Answer 5

Well, first of all, your height has nothing to do with it. Also, if you wait until you turn 15, you can get a work permit to work in something like fast food.
If you don't want to get a work permit, you can get a paper route, baby sit, mow lawns, or do other odd jobs.
You'd probably get paid minimum wage.

Answer 6

I dont think your height should matter, as long as your mature. Also I am sure a little resturants or fast food resturants will hire you. Or look at parks,...
iif this still hasnt helped, think of where you visit frequently alot and see if they are hiring..

Answer 7

It depends on the company. and even if you do have a job, it isnt even worth it becasue you can only work so many hours a week legally and it dosnt make it worht it.

Answer 8

You can be a proofreader for George Bush with those writing skills.

Answer 9

Depends where..
most people start like at 6.25 im guessing..
your height dosent matter.
believe me.
you'll do fine!
