  1. It can be harder to find a job (with an employer) at your age.  While Dept of Labor guidelines don't prohibit 14 or 15 year olds from working, there are different rules for those ages than there are when you get to be 16.  For that reason alone, businesses may not want to hire you - too many rules and exceptions for them to follow.

    But there are options.  The first one is to keep searching until you find an employer who is willing to hire someone your age.  They are definitely out there.  As some others have suggested, grocery stores or smaller, local businesses are your best bet.  But it may be challenging to be able to work as many hours as you want - you show a max of 20 hours but I'm not sure if you have a minimum.  And with the DOL restrictions combined with school and the hours that the business is open, you may not get many hours.

    The other option is to do your own thing.  You have more flexibility and can work as much or as little as you want (as long as you do what you say you are going to when working with customers).  There are LOTS of options here besides lawn mowing and babysitting.  Depending on your interests and talents, you could consider bike repair, computer repair or setup, cleaning houses and/or garages, landscaping activities, baking, making crafts or art, or raking leaves.

    You might even think about getting a job and doing something on your own.  It may sound like alot, but is not more than working for someone else for 20 hrs each week.

    Good luck!


  2. You can start online survey with 'treasuretrooper' & can earn some money from home. They are legit. they send payment via 'paypal account' or via 'check'. so you can try yourself.

  3. you can maybe bus table at a restaurant or babysit :(  

  4. A lot of small sole ownerships restaurants and grocery stores  hire 14/15 year olds. Stay away from chains, as they all go by the books. good luck !!!
