NOTE: If you are self-employed, you can work as many hours as you want & probably make a hell of a lot more than minimum wage! Don't settle for some crappy job slicing onions in the back of a restaurant (unless you just love that sort of thing). There are plenty of jobs you could do w/o having a traditional employer (babysitting, lawn mowing, house cleaning, newpaper sales/routes, vending machines, phone sales, ebay, ....you get the point). Also, you can do MULTIPLE things, don't get hung up on "I have to earn x amt from 1 job." If you can make $35 babysitting on Friday night & $50/day selling newspapers in front of a grocery store & another $35/day during the week mowing a lawn after school each day, you will come out better than some crappy job at a burger joint. Here are some recommended reading/watching materials to give you some inspiration! I promise, none of it is over your head & all will give you inspiration & ideas to do more & be more than someone else's lackey. You sound like a sharp, hard-working kid, so I wish you all the great things for which I know you are destined!

you can only work a max of 20 a week but it also depends on your boss, some will only allow 10 hours depending on what you do and the business and stuff

Well you could work 168 hours in a week,but you would get tired. No really you need to check a government website.

with permission from your parents, you can work over 40 hours a week. they ususally have forms you can fill out that you have your parents sign. when school is not in session, this is not required i think.
also, taxes are withheld which you can't get back until you fill out tax returns after the year ends.

less then 20 hours because you are a student.
