Okay I'm 15 and I really want a job when I turn 16 but the thing is, my dad is just being so stubborn! I don't know where you live, but where I live you need a...I think it's called a social insurance number? To allow you to have a bank account, which you need if you're going to get a job because they don't just directly hand you your money on your pay day.
And that would just be sad if I get a part time job when I'm 18 because they'll think that I'm really lazy PLUS I'm very clumsy so at 18 the schoolwork will be a lot harder to balance out with work.
And he's not going to make me one until I GRADUATE UNIVERSITY (I want to be a nurse)! He says that I don't need to work because he's going to work hard and pay for me, but that's ridiculous because I have 2 other siblings and that is definitely not going to work out. And FYI, he makes me so mad, I don't even WANT his money involved in this because I know that he's gonna try to make me live with him when I’m 18 or something instead of me living in the privacy of my apartment like I hope to because he'll black mail me for paying him back!
Is there any way I can get a social insurance number by myself? That's not far that he decides if I get one because I bet it's still his decision when I turn 18.

do the research and present your case to him like an adult and he'll probably warm up to the idea. thats how i got my parents to let me get a job.

Just tell your dad you need a CNA before nursing school and then you will have to work. [ onebirddog2000's advice column | Ask onebirddog2000 A Question ]
