Do you know any 17 YEAR OLD KIDS that work for the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT? Isn't that against the law?

Question

How come they don't take TAX out of your CHECK when your 17 years old?

Can you work for the government without a GED or High school DIPLOMA.

R.O.T.C don't count. Im talking about a working in a F.B.I FEDERAL building.

Answer 1

It is not against the law. We have child labor laws which allow those under 17 to work but with many, many restrictions. I worked a part-time job when I was in high school and I can tell you they definitely took tax out of my pay check when I was 17. I do not know where you got the idea 17 year olds are not taxed. I remember filing my income tax at 17.

Answer 2

I joined the USMC at 17 years old. All that was required was parental permission. So I would imagine pretty much anything would be open if you wanted to get into it and were suitably qualified.

Edit: Who the hell was talking about ROTC? I was talking about the United States Marines. I graduated early, shipped at 17 1/2, and was out of basic before my 18th birthday.
