  1. It depends on what restaurant or store it is. Some department stores require you to be at least 16 some 18. Most all fast food restaurants require you to be 16 although I have heard Chick-fil-A will hire some 15 year olds but they are very limited in what they can do so it is very rare!  


  2. Legally in most states 14 a couple don't allow food service work until 16.

    From Labor Day until June 1st the hours you can work are strictly regulated and the employers that are willing and able to deal with those restrictions are food service in particular fast food and grocery stores. There are some retailers that hire 14 and 15-year-old employees but they are very few while school is in session.

    It is legal to work at 14 in most jobs that are not considered hazardous but many employers just won't hire someone your age. The only way to know is apply, the worse that can happen is you don't get hired. To get information about work permit, jobs you can do, hours you can work etcetera go to:

    You always have the options of casual labor (working for an individual)

    You can mow lawns and other yard work (as casual labor only)

    You can clean houses (as casual labor only)

    You can wash cars (as casual labor only)

    You can Tutor (as casual labor only)

    You can work as a pet-sitter/dog-walker (as casual labor only)

    You can assist the elderly. (As casual labor only)

    You can work as a baby-sitter. (As casual labor only and some states do restrict the age for baby-sitting)

    Just to name a few ideas............................

  3. 16

  4. 14 or 15 with a workers permit signed by your partents and your school. It all also depends on where you live.

  5. It's usually 16.

    Some places will still hire you if you're 15 but will turn 16 soon.

    Best way to find out is to ask the places where you would like to apply.
