Each place has its own policy..\n\nbut you can get working papers at age 13 (need a health clearance, and parents signiture), and get legal work wherever there's a place offering to hire 13 year olds.\n\nyou could simply tutor kids, or babysit, but you have to have connections (you have to know people who would trust you with their kids)\n\nit's not that hard though.. alot of places hire illigally (burger king :) privatly owned resteraunts) you could tell them to keep you "off the books" and you'll get a job in a heartbeat, (MAKE SURE ITS PRIVATELY OWNED or else you'll just embaress yourself, places like mcdonalds and macys won't approve and will ask you to leave, but your corner grocer or whatever will gladly hire you)

There are laws for teens working anywhere. You have to find a job where the hours are according to law. Some businesses will work with you,. try waitress, or waiter, dog or horse track, cleaning yards or houses... good luck!

my friend was 15 when she started working there. im not sure about requirements though. i think it goes by state, not individual store.

Just go around to different places where you want to work and ask if they're hiring.  Even if they don't have a job available right then you can leave your resume with them and they might call you when they need someone.\n\nAlso, you can check the newspaper and ask around with your friends' parents and so forth.\n\nFinally, some ambitious teenagers create their own jobs.  Perhaps there's a service you know how to perform that your neighborhood needs.

I also suggest a restaurant. You could be a dishwasher, a bus person, a waiter (which you may need to work up to). Some restaurants require you to be 18 to work in the kitchen because of using different equipment, it is a liability.\n\nTry the theme parks also. I am not sure, however, what minimum age would be to work there, but worth checking into.

Here are some suggestions:\n-Grocery Store Bagger/ Caryout\n-Fast Food (McDonalds, Wendys etc.)\n-Independently owned businesses (Mom & Pop stores will usually hire young people as cashiers, stockers etc., )\n-Newspaper Carrier\n-Restaurant (Dishwasher etc.)\n\nALSO try the carts at a mall, those little specialty shops in the main hall, those are owned by ordinary schmoes, who usually need some help.\n\nSTART WITH ONE OF THESE JOBS, and when you become 16 and 18, you have work experience at a job, and you could start out as a secretary or something else. If  secretary is not your career path, your computer skills wont get you far as a teenager. I am 14 myself and have taken computer classes at HS, but an office wont hire at 14, so I got a job today at wendys, therefore I will have my feet wet in the world of work.

Go and apply at any fast food restaurant. I'm sure they will hire 16 year olds.

I'm guessing you're too young to get a job (or you wouldn't be asking).  Babysit, mow lawns, go to stores for people, paint or clean houses, wash cars, be a camp counselor or a junior life guard.  There are a few places of business that will hire under 16 - like some ice cream shops.

Most fast-food places hire 15 year olds. But it depends where you live. For example, I live in california and you can get a job at an amusement park and a Chuck E Cheese type place. Most clothing shops in malls will have you wait until you're a senior in high school to work there.

Try asking your local school if they have any work programs for youth in my city we have a program called SPEEDY , (Summer Program Employment Education Department for Youth) you could always consider getting a job at a summer camp as a CIT (Counselor in Training). Good Luck \n\nOr you can make signs and offer to babysit that worked for me when I was 14.

Try teenagers today:\nhttp://teenagerstoday.com/resources/articles/summerjob.htm

I think most retail and fast food places, you have to be 16 or 18. You could try a paper route if you like to get up early and if your neighborhood is safe. You may also try to start your own business such as walking dogs, babysitting, or making some sort of craft. Use your personal computer to make flyers to advertise your business.

Ask the local high school.  Their job programs would find you people.

Now- I'm not sure whether this is true about the US or not (I live in Canada)- but sometimes the government (federal) sets up places usually in big cities (so... Denver would probably have one) for teens and young people to find jobs- either with them for the summer, or they know of places that are asking to hire. In Canada basically what happens is that we have this office called the Youth Employment Office- we look at resumes, cover letters.. we'll help you with interview skills, and we have a youth summer employment board of places that are looking for youths for the summer. We also know how to apply to the gov't so you can run your own summer business (and if the states are like Canada- they'll help you pay to start it). Look in your phone book- you may have one.

It's pretty much illegal to give someone under 16 a job, or a "real" job because of child labor laws. So some places give jobs to 15 year olds, but the laws are so strict even they can't work more than about 15-20 hours a week, so most places won't even bother with you until you're 16. \nTry getting a job helping out a parent, babysitting, or start selling things on ebay.\n\nps. I'm from Texas too :D, cept the DFW area, originally Houston.
