    My 14 year old grandson has earned over $1,000 this summer doing lawn work AND he's buying his own school clothes.

    I had jobs when I was 8 years old. Easy. At 15, try any fast food place.

    i did. in texas there are restrictions on the number of hours per day and per week a person under 16 can work and there are restrictions on the times of day. i think this excludes farm work (it did when i was that age but that's been a while.)

    I know that fifteen year olds can have jobs (official), but I don't know what the regualtions are for how many hours they can work. Of course, cutting grass and babysitting is always open!

    I did when I was that age. I used to babysit. That was a great job because after the kids were in bed I could do homework and make cash under the table

    yeah. They may not be the best jobs, or even the one that you want for the rest of your life, but it's experience

    In the state of wyoming you have to be 14 or older to work and it can only be 40 or less a week NO OVERTIME. You have to prove your age with id or something.

    Most states allow you to work at 14 but my daughter is 14 and it is very hard to find a place to hire her because there is so much liability before you are 18. So many rules about the hours a minor can work and what equipment they can't be around so it is tough.

    Yes. I have been working since I was 13. You don't need to get an executive job. Ask neighbours if they want their lawn cut, weeds pulled, driveways shoveled, cars washed, etc. Ask your parents if you can do some extra chores for a fee. Go to small stores and see if you can help out unloading trucks, doing inventory, etc. There's always lots to do, and always people looking for help. People your age don't normally want to work or know where to go for work. Therefore, there's more jobs available to you if you are willing to look for them.

    Go forth and find work!

    Good luck buddy - and remember to save that money (you'll be rich compared to your friends)

    Where I live, the minimum working age is 14 AND only some types of employment AND only if it does not interfere with your schooling.

    for a 15 yr.old I would believe that doing chores for friends and neighbooors would be best and fastest way to make some money,plus may be pretty flexible for you as well. my sons are 15-16 and they both do Yard work,chores,car washes,ect...They have fun and make very goood money all at the same time. hope this helps.
