o yea i know some people are trying to help by saying babysitting but my town is small and most of the kids have older siblings to watch them so babysitting is out of the question.

Yes, you'll probably need "working papers." However, babysitting can be a lucrative cash business as well. It's like getting paid to sit and do your homework. :-)

My daughter Stated working at 15 summer job. She has been there a year. Moving up too, The more you work the more you learn. Some state you have to get work prements.
Check with your school they can tell you the state laws.

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

yes you will have to get a work permit (under 18 you have to have one if you live in the us). wal-mart, restaurants, grocery stores, fast food restaurants. unfortunately, those are the only places that employ 15 year olds that i know of.
