age and jobs
Why did the age change for jobs? Most jobs you have to be 18 now. Even in grocery stores, fast food restaurants, etc. There's only ONE fast food place that hires at 16 and of course it's already full. What happened? Most 16 year olds have jobs already but every time I try to apply elsewhere.. they say I don't qualify because of my age (17) I just wanted to be bagger for a grocery store! I'm moving out next year and I don't know what to do! I know I'm getting kicked out so am I just supposed to live on the streets until I'm 18?

Even if you were 18 and had experience, it's not easy to get a job. I was job-hunting for about a year after I turned 18 before I found something. What you need is a lot of perserverance and patience and a little bit of luck.

Retail's a lot easier to get into. Drugstores, like Walgreen's (got a job there when I was 16 with no experience), Rite Aid, etc. Clothing stores, anywhere in the mall. Maybe food places, like ice cream places. Just keep asking and don't give up.

well around here they can hire you, but you have to have a work permit until your 18. I would suggest getting one if you don't already and keep applying...places that really need the help will take it. Being 18 doesn't have it's advantages either...I'm 18 and I can't get hired either...no place is really hiring. Some places want specific experience...I know that Wal-Mart hires at 16 so if you have a nearby Wal-Mart, Meijer, Target, or K-mart I would check them out...most of them will hire young because they have constant need for help.
