The laws for minors vary from state to state. Check with your local board of education for a work permit and they can tell you how to get the permit as well as what you can and cannot do, what days and hours, etc. In most states it's 15 years of age but you won't know if you don't call.

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act you can legally work as a cashier and a number of other places at the age of 14, but you would require a worker's permit until the age of 16. However, there are laws that specifically state what type of work you can and cannot do and the number of hours you can work. You can go to the website that I pasted below to see what your state laws are. Good luck!

Depends on the state you live in. Different states have different age requirements and some of them do start as low as 14 years old (you will usually need working papers signed by guardian and school). Some states also have it broken down by job type (for instance, you can work on a farm for pay long before you can work anywhere else in many states).

No, because of the lack of legal responsibility. There are also legal limits on locations and hours of work.
