My 14 (nearly 15 yr old girl) wants to work, but what type of work can she do ?

Question

my girl nearly 15 in jan.. aleady does a thurday after school paper round for extra pocket money, but she wants to do a little weekend job to earn just that little extra money (with xmas etc coming up, it makes sence).

Now,things like working on a market.., washing up in cafe/restuarant, or in a corner shop for example........

anywhere else would take on a young person of this age, if so, what type of work would it be ?.

thanks

Answer 1

Most of the time you should be 16 to be able to find work other than in food services. But is she has a lot of expreience already, wait for her to turn 15 and have her apply at local convience or retail stores.

Answer 2

it is limiting, but just ask around at the places you have suggested and see what comes of it. maybe she could a few sunday paper rounds. my niece did this a couple of years ago and she made more on a sunday by working about 5 hours than she did on a paper round for all week

Answer 3

There are strict rules about child labour for historical reasons.

This should help you. All credit to her for wanting to work and displaying such a good work ethic.

Answer 4

she can scoop ice cream. Coldstones, MarbleSlab, and Baskin Robbins always has a bunch of teenagers working there.

Or maybe bag grocerys at the supermarket

Answer 5

she could help out with a disabled club
