lightoftruth answered Tuesday May 14 2013, 2:22 pm: It is really hard for a 15 year old to get a job that isn't babysitting or something. Most fast food restaurants and retail stores hire 16 year old's. So you can't exactly be picky.
I mean you can try surveys online. You can also try and look around and see if there are any stores around you that do hire 15 years olds.
Age is a problem for most employers because it limits what they can do. That's why they normally hire people who are older.
So pretty much, don't turn down any jobs if you really want the money. Maybe start out doing something like babysitting but also keep looking for something else so at least you're making some money while you're looking for something better.
Experience will really help you with getting a job. If you have no experience, lots of people will turn you down because of that.
Take the jobs no one likes because it shows you're a hard worker.

So change your attitude before you start looking:
1) Babysitting may not be what you want to do when you're older, but anything is better to start you off-you need any experience to put on CV's
2) 'Supper fun' -super fun? I'm sorry, but the way unemployment is at the moment-you'll be lucky to get anything. Graduates, qualified for their dream job, can't get that job. Don't look for a fun job, look for something you'll be able to do. I do a paper round, and sure, I hate it, but hey its better than sitting around looking for my 'dream job' and earning no money.
3)I'm 17, and there isn't much out there for people under 18 at all. Which is why you have to be smart. How about being a 'secret shopper'. They always need people who don't look obvious to do this, and it pays quite well.
You could try and get yourself a paper round. You could be a hair model, or sometimes people pay online for you do complete surveys. [ kittenlover2000's advice column | Ask kittenlover2000 A Question ]

Once you turn 16 you can apply for jobs at fast food restaurants, certain other of types of restaurants, full station gas stations, if there are any left, dry cleaners and most retail stores. You will need working papers signed by your school, parents and employer which are then returned to your school. The working papers outline the hours you are allowed to work per week, per day and so forth.
In short to answer your question. While your state may allow you to drive; the federal government prohibits you from earning the type of money to purchase the gas, pay the insurance and up keep on the car you drive until you are 16. Once you reach age 16 your options are going to be severely limited while school is in session. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
