Getting a job

[DreamTheaterFan]

Guys, I'm an ideal employee...smart, work hard, etc. The problem is, that I'm only 15 (almost 15 and a half) and can't drive myself places. From your experience Are there any places that would hire me? I know some places have certain age limits too...

At least in WA, you gotta be 16 to legally work anywhere. Your best bet right now is doing stuff for your/other people's parents.

Hmmm...here in CA, you gotta be 14 to get a work permit.

As long as you can get to where you need to go when they need you, they probably don't care how you do it.

Your best bet is to hit up the guidance department at your school. They will probably know of opportunities and laws and be able to help you secure whatever papers you need.

When I was 15 most of the kids I knew who worked either bagged groceries or worked at McDonalds.

Not the most appealing jobs, but 15 year olds have to start at the bottom. Most of places want people who are a little older. We all had crappy minimum wage jobs when we were 15. As you get older you'll get cooler jobs with better pay.

But you're not going to make much more than minimum wage at 15, so hit up the grocery store. Its a safe bet.

Work at a pet store. My first job was in the aquarium department of a pet store bagging fish for people. Probably the easiest job ever and theres lots of hot girls looking at puppies.

Yeah, to be honest, I don't really care where I work. A jobs a job. Flipping burgers is fine with me.
