fiingersxcrossed answered Monday June 25 2007, 4:33 pm: well hannah, you can look into family owned buisnesses! like a little candle shop, or somthing like that! they ussually hire younger teens, and pay pretty good! i would recomend not to work in a place like mcdonalds becuase you work super hard, and get payes close to nothing! [which sucks!] so hope my advice helped! ily, mo.♥ [ fiingersxcrossed's advice column | Ask fiingersxcrossed A Question ]

They will hire people your age to work mostly cleaning theaters, tearing tickets while those 16+ will be handling box-office and concessions usually. I'm going strictly by the movie theater I worked at from 2001-2002 but it's pretty much the same everywhere.
What you would do is phone first and ask to speak to a manager and introduce yourself over the phone and ask about what they may be able to offer and try and get an appointment to see him or her.
You can also go in person and ask for a manager and talk to them when they come out to talk to you and see if they have something they can hire you for then and there.
This is your best bet for a job. You can try Burger King, Subway, Taco Bell etc etc. but your chances of getting hired there are slimmer due to your age as some people won't let someone your age handle anything to do with money changing hands and might just stick you in the back cooking, taking drive thru orders or whatever.
Definitely try the movie theaters in your area. There's nothing wrong with babysitting though as it's great money if they keep inviting you back. Make sure you learn CPR as it's a vital skill to have when babysitting. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
tommys_baby answered Monday June 25 2007, 4:28 pm: Hey.
Try places like Dairy Queen & ColdStone. They usually hire around 14-15. Also, places that wash cars, like Auto Bell. Dippin' Dots. Sonic. Good Will & The Salvation Army.
Try those, cause around here I'm pretty sure they would hire you.
