Answer 1

Yeah, at 13 you can get a paper round, but you can't work in shops or anything, sorry. You could do baby-sitting though, or jobs around the house/gardening, stuff like that. If it's a "cash-in-hand" [or whatever it's called] job then you can do it =)

You have to be 16 to work on tills, and i'm pretty sure you have to be 16 to work in shops and the like too. Although my friend who is 15 does voluntary work, so perhaps you can get a saturday job somewhere local? Ask around, can't hurt =)

Answer 2

Personally I think it will be difficult to find a job given your age. You're best option would probably be to work as an unpaid apprentice for a period of time and then apply for the job eventually. It might be a big shot but you could try out a hair salon.

Good luck!

Answer 3

If your 13 you can get a paper round but i dont think anything else unless u get paid under the table
