  1. It's tough to do but some kids get lucky. When your 14, you usually have to take a less formal job, almost like a volunteering job, except of course you get paid. I umpired baseball games when I was 14, that was my most common source of income. I also mowed lawns. A lot of my friends worked on farms or in horse stables, helping out private owners for cash. And of course there are things like paper routes.  


  2. A really good job when your that young is being a reff at soccer games for younger kids. Its easy money, about 50$ a game, in cash. Thats what I did when I was that age. Then I started summer jobs at the local pool, with the snack stand. And theres always the best money- maker, babysitting. Typically its tax free, and fun! Invest in an ad in the local newspaper, its not too expensive, and it will provide great results!

  3. yeah you can get a job, but get a job if you want money or you are saving for something big. i got a job at mcdonald's, not the best place to work but hey i like the money. i know this because, hey, I'm 14.

  4. mostly there are too many laws and guidelines to follow. you won't get as many hours as you want and your parents will end up spending more than you make on gas running to you and from your job.

    you're better off working under the table like mowing lawns, shoveling snow, doing odd-jobs, etc. also try farms, during the summer they can hire help and usually hire people who are 14

  5. It's usually 15 before you can.  Go to your school district office and ask about it there.  You will need a work permit at any rate.

    Finding a place to hire you is another thing at that age.

    At 14 you are still pretty much need to do babysitting and things like that.

    Ask your parents if they can give you jobs for pay, and do them well to build trust and show that you are responsible.

    Good luck!
