14 year olds and jobs

[xdestine]

Well i got my working papers from the school. I will be turning 14 on June 26th and i was wondering. What places can i get a job at. I want at least 100 dollars a week (not including taxes (25%)). Well im pretty sure there are 13 year olds here getting a job because i saw a thread somewhere where he said he gets 8 dollars an hour... I was surprised that he isn't getting minimum wage but it would be helpful if anyone told me a place i could work at. BTW this isn't a repost.

Its all about connections , w/o them you got nothing else to do than go from place to place asking for work
Oh and never go to place where u get payd how much you do , always go for payment per hour

In america the earliest you can get a job is 15.. Damn child labor laws.

Edit: I meant to say 14

Here in Malta it's 16 i think, but still I've been working for 3 years (since I was 14) & whenever the police used to come etc I just say that It's my father's shop & I'm just helping him

I think you can get a job in some states at 14, most of th eplaces I've heard of 14 year olds getting jobs are Subway, Dairy Queen and mostly family-owned places where they pay you "under-the-table" (aka they pay you not through a pay roll, but just give you cash so you don't have to pay taxes on it.)

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) sets wage, hours worked, and safety requirements for minors (individuals under age 1 working in jobs covered by the statute. The rules vary depending upon the particular age of the minor and the particular job involved. As a general rule, the FLSA sets 14 years of age as the minimum age for employment, and limits the number of hours worked by minors under the age of 16. Also, the FLSA generally prohibits the employment of a minor in work declared hazardous by the Secretary of Labor (for example, work involving excavation, driving, and the operation of many types of power-driven equipment). The FLSA contains a number of requirements that apply only to particular types of jobs (for example, agricultural work or the operation of motor vehicles) and many exceptions to the general rules (for example, work by a minor for his or her parents). Each state also has its own laws relating to employment, including the employment of minors. If state law and the FLSA overlap, the law which is more protective of the minor will apply.
Posting requirements: Nonagricultural employers must also post the Labor Department-issued Minimum Wage Poster listing minimum age requirements in a prominent place at the worksite.
Child labor laws vary from state to state. Please consult your state department of labor for this information.

My best guess is doing what someone above said, being a bus boy and washing dishes, or you could probably look at getting a job at a concession stand at like a stadium somewhere.

that would be a kitchen porter, and im surprised no one has said get a paper route yet!

Or you could make money on the internet (dont ask me how)

And as far as i know BK wont hire a 14 year old. 16 is the minimum i think.

[Clain]

I know how to make it on the internet.

Make n00dz of yourself and then let people say TITS OR GTFO, gief them tits, and you get money <3

i got a job at 14 ive been working for 2 years, but the job is comission and what it is your selling the newspaper door to door and the company is huge, its thru all of u.s.a and some of canada
name a store: most stores will not higher under 16 years of age, but you might wanna try a "small" resturant because places like sizzler or claim jumpers will not higher either.
