When's the right age to get a job?

Question

I am only 13 and I want to get a job, because I need money.

Does anyone know the age you have to be to get a job?

Please help me.

Answer 1

My mom was totally ok with me babysitting at 12 years old for a few hours from time to time to get some extra spending money.  I would sometimes get $20 for 4 hrs on a Saturday or something and that was great money for me to just get something i had been wanting for awhile.  When i was 14 I was babysitting and during the summers I as a paid aide at a camp for children with special needs and made some good money (for a 14 year old).  I didn't get a different job from that until I was 18 then i got a job at walmart for a little while then superamerica but eventually ended up working in a daycare because I love children but can't stand the adults lol.  Anyways I would say 12 is a good time to start with like occasional babysitting or a paper route or something to save up some spending cash.  I liked that I could actually go out and buy my mom a birthday present and card from me once I started babysitting

Well you have to be at least 14 to qualify for jobs. And 18 to work with food. And over 19 to do construction things.
