ok well im gonna turn 14 in the summer and i was wonder if i could get a job?(a summer job)
how old were you when u got your first job? and what or where was it?

[ImmortalH]

I think it depends on where you are from. Most of the time its around 14-15 where you can get a job, but its very limited.

[*Kathleen*]

Blah. Give up now.

[inthemudhole]

I'm 13.
I had a paper route when I was 12.
In some states, you can work at fast food places at the age of 14.. but I'm not 100% sure on that one.. and I imagine that it would depend upon where you live.

here in new york city you can have a summer job when your're 14, that's how i got my first job...it was horrible though, i worked in an elderly home, the people there were so rude to me

[KRicoBoriqua]

From my experience there are very few jobs out there for ppl who are not at least 16...so good luck.

[jr0h]

someone made a related topic but yeah um im 14. i still dont have a job. i used to work at an apartment recreation center/house leasing office where i filed stuff, helped customers, mark packages, all sorts of office stuff. even though i didnt get paid. i made a lot of adult friends. im still in touch with one of them. i always feel special when im there. its like im VIP cuz you have to be 16 year or older to get in but they let me in.

my mom said she might make me work at a korean royal bakery. its gay but i need money. lol but everytime i see their store, they have no customers..

[xSqueekyMexicanx]

o well i live in cali.....

[xj_liana_tx]

you might work in some asian restaurants

[Rogue_Ewok]

I got my first job when I was 14, at a hotel as a waitress. Unfortunately, I still have that same job at the age of 17... and I hate it!

Over here, you can get a job at McDonald's at 14.

I got a paper route like, 5 months ago and I was 12/13 ( my bday was in sept. ) It's a pain in the butthole and I'm planning on qutting in May, or so...

[lovescream]

You dont need a job, do you?

[xSqueekyMexicanx]

^^ i want one so i can buy lots of things

[wayne]

i was 14

[ghjgfkgfk]

i doubt it. most people are looking for someone who can spell and have decent grammer. that kicks you out of it.

[HikaruTakekawa]

getting a job at fourteen is hard. not many places hire people under 16, good luck.

if u dont like me y do u even make comments on my things huh

[silver-rain]

eh, i got my first job when i was 16- at a stationary store doing office work and stuff. eh, it might be kinda hard to get a job at 14, but good luck finding one!

[ghjgfkgfk]

if u dont like me y do u even make comments on my things huh

heh, i never said i don't like you. i'll post whever the hell i want to. you may be 13 now, but you have (or lack of, i should say) the comman sense and basic grammer skills of six year old. wait, six year olds now when to use periods.

what i said was the truth. you're going to have a pretty damn hard time getting a job when you're 14. where i live, wendy's can hire people at 14, but that doesn't mean they do. do you're parents know you want a job? i'm sure they'll have a grand time driving you to and from work.

[RandomHero]

I'm 15 and don't have a job.

Yeah, try a fast food place. They hire anybody.

[OhXiet_ItzDonnA]

i'm turnin 14 in the summer too and yeah, i need a job so i can go shoppin..hehe

[inlonelinessidie]

o well i live in cali.....

Can't until you're 15 or 16, I think. And even then you need a permit. Plus you'll hate your job if you get one so soon, trust me.

i doubt it. most people are looking for someone who can spell and have decent grammer.  that kicks you out of it.

Then learn how to spell grammar if you want to offend someone by telling them they cannot complete a sentence correctly.

[br0ken smile]

try something at a summer camp. Like a counselor or cit

[Chaos13]

i think it in the age of 15-16 for some stores. mostly 18 if you haven't already know.

[cmgchica717]

I was 15 and I worked at taco bell

[jaeman]

I was fourteen, I worked in a pet store for the summer.
I did alot of things, especially cleaning those cages.

[remini]

I live in California too, and I don't think you can get a job until you're 16. I'm not positive though. Babysit your neighbor's kids or something.

[Just_Dream]

I applied for a job, at Panda Express lol. I'm STILL waiting for them to call me back. Wait, 14, and getting a job?!?! I though you had to be 16 to get a job. Anyway, I'm almost 17.. and before, my parents banned me from getting a job until I turn 18. Not anymore

[Note]

15 at blockbuster.

[ANG33ZY]

My mom doesn't want me to have a job :o. But my dad says it's okay.

[misoka]

parents would go insane if I had a job...they tell me that I have two options.


1. Get a job
2. Go to school

And I could choose only one. Well. I'm choosing school. I think the minimum for around my area being 16 and having your license...something like that.


mmm oh and, my friend who lives in hawaii...he's 17 and he works at pizza hut as the cook there.

[angel-roh]

when i was 12, i got my first job =] at the baskin robins hehehe... i know it was supposed to be over 15...but in alaska...not many people didnt want to work there.. and i really wanted to work there, so they finally let me in hehehe

[sykopathicgurl]

cant you just babysit?
because if you get a job thats with a company dont you have to pay all those taxes and stuff?

[innovation]

har, too lazy to get one. besides, summers are actually pretty full for me. but starbucks sounds cool.

[miss barnes]

here, you can work at 14...but only if they allow you too. Some fast food places & the movie theater let 14 and 15 year olds. oh and 14 & 15 year olds can only work 18 hours a week
