need a job desperately.


Question Posted Tuesday July 24 2007, 11:28 pm

i'm 14 years old and i want a job very badly. my parents have been low on money so it's hard for them to get me stuff and give me money for the movies, etc. so i'd like to have a job to pay for my own things and to start saving for a car and college and such.

i've tried all the mcdonalds around me and have gotten turned down because two weren't really hiring. so any ideas and any places that hire 14 year olds? i live in Ohio, and i'd like it to be an all year thing not just summer, thanks so much :]

I know for a fact, that publix hires 14 year olds.(Although, its a very hard job to get) So, try applying there.

Also, I often babysit my little cousins.

I know this seems a little old fashion, but me and a friend have started a few car washing, and dog walking buisinesses. just an idea.

Good luck! :)

I work at my local church and I get $8 an hour for babysitting the kids while their parents go to Sunday Services. I watch them only once a week, on Sunday, but for three hours so I get like $24 just for that day. I mean, it's not a bad job, but it's pretty easy but I have lots of experience.. I've been babysitting since I was like 9/10 and I know how to change diapers, feed, the whole deal.

Hope I helped! ♥

I think it's great that you want to find work and earn your own money. You aren't old enough to work, almost anywhere in the US. When you turn 15, though, you should be able to find work at a supermarket. But for now.....

Um, try volunteering at a place that pays tips. Like the snack bar at a little league field.
McDonalds and Dunkin Donuts or other large chain stores are out of the question....but a small coffee shop or diner or luncheonett may hire you 'under the table' to clean tables or something, and pay you in cash.
Horse stables, animal farms and produce farms do hire kids under 15, are there any near by where you could apply for work. How about a plant nursery, where you will work outside. That might even be better than being stuck inside all day.
Kennels and dog pounds might be interested in hiring a hard working kid. Try that.
Newspapers used to hire kids to deliver newspapers. I don't know if they still do, but it is worth looking into.

Start your own little dog walking or dog bathing business. Take care of pets in the neighborhood when people travel. Print up a flyer and put it in people mail boxes.

Hope this helps
