I am a musician and I want to play more than just at school, plus i need a job but really don't want to work a normal cashier job. Is there any where thats willing to hire a high school student to play?

Depends on where you live. If it's a town with a lot of aspiring musicians (i.e. Austin, Portland) it's pretty easy to find a local joint that'll let you play. If you're in a bigger city with more established acts, it'll be tough.
As far as pay goes, don't count on it. The best you can do is put out a tip jar, and hope that the place has some generous customers.
I'm from Austin, and it's pretty easy to get a gig here, But I find that the best way to go about it is to approach the manager at a small joint you've seen other starting artists play, and ask how to go about getting a slot. Different places have different policies.

well it`s good to play at some schools and that is how some musicians started off and who knows you might get very famous from good schools (like my previous)!!!!
