Question

i herd, smewer, that students aged under 16 can get some sort of licence to work in places wer they hire 16 + yr olds. is this true and how do i get one, wat do i say?

answers much appreciated

Answer 1

I don't think anything like that exists.  The main reason jobs are available to 16+ is because

1) You can legally work more hours

2) You'll be able to work more hours as you'll be at school less and

3) For quite a few jobs, even working behind a counter, they want you to have GCSEs, especially maths and english.

I'd talk to your connexions advisor about what jobs are available in your area, they're more likely to know.
