Not in the US, no. I believe the legal requirement is atleast 15, and i think you need some kind of Permit, atleast until 16-17 years old.

I am not sure, but from what I know about Manitoba law... no.

You can hold a simple job with pay "under the table" like a paper route or other similar type of job.

No you can't. You can't get a job until your 15.

A summer job wouldn't be bad. Better than spending your day on the computer or something like that. And it'd get you money.

Yes... money is good... get a job now... start saving now... it will pay off in the end, especially if you end up in post-secondary education... trust me... I did not do that... and am regretting it...

Not to mention the fact you also get incredible social experiences that help you grow as a person.

Under those circumstances I doubt it, but there is always mowing lawns, babysitting, and other off the books jobs you can find

yes you can get a job, you just need to get your parents to sign a work permit.

Most places around me didn't like hiring under 16 though because of transportation problems.  My ass had to work in the corn field at 6 am.

oh and for all those that doubt - linkdafied

In Australia, that would be a borderline age to get a job. Even when you're 13, its very hard to get much hours. Once you're 15 and older, its all good.
