Jobs for those "Young People"

Demon Lemon

Hey everyone,
I'm hoarding money to build a computer, I've been helping around the house a lot lately.
But is there any jobs that a 14 year old could get? I've been wanting to get at least a little
bit of income here and there for a while.

Depends on what state/country you're in. You should ask at your school. I know in California, you can't get a work permit until you're 15. You might be able to deliver papers, but it's a shitty, shitty job, that pays worse than just about anything.

I'm in Georgia, down south where the buffalo roam.

Offer to mow your neighbors' lawns for 15-20 bucks a pop. If you know how to make your own computer, offer tech support to people that would be willing to pay for such a thing. Hit up your relatives for odd jobs you could do for them for cash.

Mowing, babysitting, those kinds of things. You're too young to be hired for an actual wage-paying job right now.

Hello fellow young teenager!

I'm fifteen, and I "volunteer" at a local book store, shelving books, stuff like that. It's easy work, I can go in whenever I want, it counts towards volunteer hours for college, and my dad gives me five dollars per hour I work there. If your parents would be willing to go for something like this, it's a lovely set up, and there's a good chance you'll get hired once you turn of age if you do a good job.

According to this, you're old enough to work in Georgia, but you need an employment certificate.

Also, I should mention that a lot of places (mostly large chains) will not hire anyone under 16 regardless of state laws. Your best bet will be any independent stores or small (local/regional) chains.

When I was fifteen I got my work permit and applied around, eventually nabbing a job at a local coffee house. If you take the time to actually file all the paperwork for one, most employers will see that dedication as a positive trait. Worse case scenario, you are legally able to get a job but can't.
