Question

Can a 10-yr old get a job?

Answer 1

no unless you are working for family, there are child labor laws in the u.s.

Answer 2

There are many of things a ten year old can do for work; of course it can't be out of the child-labor laws set up in your state. I don't know your the state you live in so I can't really be of much help. Although during the summer time you could mow lawns or wash cars. Basically any manual labor that you do could and should have a fee for the recipient of your labor.

Answer 3

When I was 10, or maybe 11, I took small jobs cutting my neighbor's grass.  At that age, he/she might also be able to get a paper route if it's available in your area.

Other than that, I'm not sure what else a 10 year old can legally do to earn money.

Answer 4

not in Ohio. An exception would be a family farm or a family business. Anything else requires a work permit from your school.
