Not old enough for LEGAL job! PLEASE HELP ME!!!?

Question

I'm not 14 and 9 months yet so I can't get a proper job legally. So I was wondering what you others out there do to earn money? I can't babysit because my parent's don't like me being home alone. >:(

Please help me! I need to earn some money!

(Sorry, I don't know what category to put this in :P )

Thanks :)

Answer 1

Well, your almost 15 and then you can get a worker's permit from school and then go out and apply for a job since most jobs you have to be 16.

Good luck!

Try babysitting again.

Answer 2

Babysitting is a great way to earn money but you don't always have to go to the other person's house to do it.

Talk with your parents and see if they would let you watch kids at your house. Dig up your old toys and movies for them to play with. Kids love having a new environment to explore and playing with "new" toys is exciting. Assure your parents that you'll watch the kids instead of them watching you and the kids and you may have a nice little business.

If that doesn't work out try and scout out your neighborhood. Some people who are elderly can't take care of their homes and gardens alone and it is a burden for their children to do it constantly. See if any elderly people need help around the house. Even simple things like cleaning, laundry, gardening etc. can earn a decent profit if done well. Depending on where your from shoveling snow for the same crowd turns quite a profit.

If these don't work it may actually be good to simply volunteer. If you volunteer your time it puts a great mark on your resume so by the time you are old enough to get a job it puts you at the top of the employer's stack. It also looks great for scholarship applications in the long run. Volunteering outside school or youth group may not profit in the short run but you will definitely reap greater benefits in the long run.

Answer 3

Chick-fil-A hires 14+, and also if you find someone that is willing to hire you, you should be able to get a work permit and then you'll be fine.

Answer 4

When you turn 15 you can surely apply for kid birthday places like Bounce U, and Sky zone, and Chucky Cheeses, My brother applied in all of them when he was turning 15, and he got all the jobs so he chose Sky zone. Good luck to you! And try these places. Also go to www.teenjobsafe.com
