Answer 1

With many of the child labor laws, there's no way you'd get in. Is the real issue that you won't be getting an iPod? Reevaluate your desires and accept sometimes the things you cannot change.

Answer 2

At 14 almost 15 you can't be picky about what kind of work you want. If you really want that ipod then you will be willing to work outside. I mean it's not like you live in Oregon, where it is a balmy 30 degrees.

Get out there and work. After all, you can't start at the top... All the successful men had to start at the bottom.

Answer 3

Sure Just don't work a lot. Work as little as you can, just get the work experience at a young age and make your oppurtunities for better jobs when you turn 16 more available. EDIT: and by the way, completely ignore the idiot that told you to do the making money online thing way above me. You don't get paid that much and it might be alright if you don't mind you email addresses's inbox being flooded with junk mail.

Answer 4

Most places have waivers now that if a parent signs they will allow you to work a certain amount of hours per week. You may also want to talk with your guidance counsel or someone of that nature because they also pass our work permits through schools [at least they did in Indiana when I was in 8th grade].

Try a movie theater.

Also, babysitting it always a safe route. I know most people don't like it, but trust me, it's good when you want things your parents just aren't willing to put out for.

Answer 5

No stores that are a chain.... nothing in the mall or walmart or any store that you see a commercial for. It's against the law for those people to hire you. Try a place that is owned locally that is your only hope. Or the usual babysitting, mowing the law. etc.

Answer 6

Try chick fil a

Answer 7

Tution? City council? Beggars can't be choosers.

Here's a short list of 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.

8. Why not become a paid feeder servicing the disabled at nearby nursing, convalescent, assisted living/care centers and hospitals. It involves feeding food to patients who are unable to feed themselves. The starting rate is $8.00 per hour. The only downside is that one has to take precautions to wash one's hands after each feeding. A posting of your services [by a business card or flyer] on a reviewable bulletin board would be enough to generate customers. The paid feeder position is one of the fastest growing occupation at this time.

Good luck!
