Hey, I'm 13 and I heard that you can start working at some places once you turn 14. Is that true and if yes then what places will let you work at 14?

I think 16 is the minimum for a burger licence or a bag-boy/lady.

16 is minumum for most public stuff.

14 is allowed if you recieve a license and a signed release by a parent.

As far as I knew you could work at any age as long as you have parental consent, and you pay taxes. You just can't do all jobs or work very long hours.

I thought 15 or 16 was the age you can start working. Sometimes you can work at a younger age if your parent wants you to work with them that's all I know.

13 in Australia but you need to get a release and stuff, 14 and 9 months for most food jobs, 16 for retail.

Then go to Florida's Dept. of Labor website or whatever they call the equivalent. They'll know better than most of us.

If you can't find an employer to hire you then you can still do odd jobs like babysitting, mowing lawns and shoveling snow, also cleaning houses. If you are willing to put in the work you should find someone wiling to let you do it.

I guess you can start working as a paperboy at your 14th. Just like here in the Netherlands.

I believe most places here in Florida won't hire anyone under sixteen, though I know there are a few fifteen year olds who work in the supermarkets. At fourteen, your best bet is probably mowing lawns, or something like that around your neighborhood.

That's true. Trie to get someone you know to give you money for walking dogs or cutting grass or anything like that. Helping me save for a ps3 ;)

Most shops and businesses won't touch you if you're not sixteen, but you can be a paperboy/girl at thirteen.

Thats exactly where I heard about working at 14, my stepbro works there and he says that you can be a bag-boy in publix at 14. I just want to be sure so that I dont just walk in there and look stupid.
