Where can a 14 year old work for the summer?

Question

Looking for a job. What about starbucks, McD's, BK, etc?

Answer 1

in most places if you not working under the table then you may have to wait until 15 1/2 with a work permit and possibly good grades
otherwise yard work car washes and baby siting

Answer 2

No, you r too young for starbucks, McD's and BK. I have called those places and 16 is the age. I would go with the first answer like little jobs but not out in the working world.

Answer 3

You may have difficulty in the places you mentioned because State labors. You might try baby sitting, lawn & garden work, dog walking, car washing/detailing. The car detailing could bring you somer good bucks. You will just need some seed money from parents to get supplies. Then go to neighborhood cashwash & see what they do. I'd suggest you stay away from waxing. Waxing a car can be a daunting task for an adult. Stick to washing, interior clean up & windows.

Answer 4

nope cant work in fast food, perhaps an ice cream shop something small like paper delivery which you get a lot of money from, you can start your own biz like selling something you make, like bird houses or little things you can sew or jewelry.

but if you're 14 you cant use machinery or a cash register so that takes out like a lot of jobs.

good luck

i say you start your own biz, you could also be an errand runner for your neighbors or a dog walker which also makes a lot, you can clean too, or do what ever someone needs around the house, and there is always good old fashioned baby sitting

Answer 5

Its pretty tough to work at fast food restaurants at the age of 14. Due to state laws. Mos place won't hire unless you are older then 16. A Good Job for being 14 is babysitting, mowing lawns, Weeding flower beds, Little stuff around the neighborhood. You could probably put a ad up in your local Grocery store

Answer 6

Indiana Beach in downtown Monticello, IN

Here is a short list of summer jobs which you can create to generate income:

1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item.

2. Become a "poser" who assists wedding photographers in setting and arranging various individuals in group and single photographic positions. "Posers" carry around a sketch book of various sitting and standing poses which consists of onion skin overlays of various wedding pictures bound in albums. Again, contact local wedding photographers and wedding planners, accordingly. The hourly pay is around $10-$12 per hour and you are often invited to attend all dining activities.

3. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor's equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour.

4. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour.

5. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel.

6. Become a proxy/stand-in for neighbors to allow delivery of goods and packages to your home/apartment. Acquire the authority to sign any receipt of incoming packages as an accepting neighbor. Charge $1 per each package handled by you.

7. Consider becoming a restaurant-cafe customer liaison by using your cell phone at restaurants-cafes to coordinate with the hostess to keep track of waiting customers. Whenever there's a very long period of time to activate a waiting list, you want to offer the restaurant your services so that customers do not have to stand around for any lengthy period of time. And when their name/assigned number comes up; you can call the upcoming customer's cell phone to tell them that they can return to the restaurant and be served. The call back fee is usually around $0.50 cents on a per head basis. For example, a couple would be charged $1.00 while children under 6 would not be charged. Placement of a plaque which outlines your fee schedule near the hostess station is sufficient to garner attention of prospective customers who will value your services since they can do other activities outside of the restaurant -- often beyond the range of any inhouse paging system. You realize that everyone has a cellphone and why not take advantage of the connectivity to make the diner's experience worthwhile. The restaurant will also appreciate the added service you are providing as a customer liaison.

Good luck!
