Can a 14 year old in Georgia get a job? I need money really badly and I didn't know.
If so where?

I'm most sure that all 50 states have very strict laws reguarding child labor. However, if you must work and get money at 14, the best state to go to is West Virgina.

Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.

I know in SC you have to be 15 so I'm going to assume it's the same in GA. Have you tried making fliers to promote your babysitting services and distribute them throughout your neighborhood?
