"We have to push you because you won't push yourself."
A direct quote from my mother regarding swim team. (Just so you know, I'm an extremely driven individual.) It's time to assume some responsibility and get a summer job, but my parents believe otherwise. In their minds, fifteen is too young to be working. All I'm asking for is some independence to buy what I want with my own money, and (maybe) pay half of my college tuition when the time comes. Is that too much? |

No not at all. But at most jobs you're too young, it's not just your parents. At some jobs, you at least have to be sixteen or older and at some jobs sixteen is too young. So good luck finding a job that will hire you.

I've already got several job applications that accept persons under age sixteen. My town is very work-friendly. Thank you though.

My town need more jobs like that. I couldn't harly find a job that would hire me at fifteen. What type of jobs? Do you have to have parents signature? Some jobs around here ask for parent signatures. |

Also, our local grocery store would be willing to hire me (I know the owner), so that's always an option. No parent siggy needed. As long as I have a method of transportation (and I will by June), you're good to go. |

Also, our local grocery store would be willing to hire me since my brother worked there for five years (he was hired at fifteen also T-T.) Grocery stores are usually easier to do, being as they are more flexible, and they won't let the youngins do the overnight shift. |
