Is there any jobs that a 14 year old can do in San Mateo County?

Question

I'm 14 and I was wondering if there are any jobs near san mateo, CA?

Answer 1

Kevin,

Go to your local job service (ask your mom to take you, she has to sign the permit) and get your underage work permit. Take a look at their available jobs and ask for assistance from one of the specialists. My sons first job was for the whole summer and he was a dishwasher. I think it is a good first job and teaches you to have a good work ethic. You might also try mowing lawns with a Landscaping Co.

Best of Luck!

Child labor (or child labour) is the employment of children under an age determined by law or custom. This practice is considered exploitative by many countries and international organizations. Child labor was not seen as a problem throughout most of history, only becoming a disputed issue with the beginning of universal schooling and the concepts of laborers and children's rights.

Child labor can include factory work, mining or quarrying, agriculture, helping in the parents' business, having one's own small business (for example selling food), or doing odd jobs. Some children work as guides for tourists, sometimes combined with bringing in business for shops and restaurants (where they may also work as waiters). Other children were forced to do tedious and repetitive jobs such as assembling boxes, or polishing shoes. However, rather than in factories and sweatshops, most child labor occurs in the informal sector, "selling on the street, at work in agriculture or hidden away in houses — far from the reach of official labor inspectors and from media scrutiny."[1]

The most controversial forms of work include the military use of children as well as child prostitution. Less controversial, and often legal with some restrictions, are work as child actors and child singers, as well as agricultural work outside of the school year (seasonal work).

Answer 3

Most jurisdictions have restrictions of persons under 16, including workable hours, possible jobs, etc.

Generally, at your age, paperboy is a common job, you could also post flyers/bills. You can try offering to cut lawns for your neighbours.
