Ok well im 14 and I think I need a job. My dad is no longer working and its just my mom, and my sister who is renting. I want money to help pay bills, buy games and other stuff for me, and my family. I live in Washington and im thinking of getting a job at a local Gamecrazy. If you live in WA, do you know what the employment age is? And Im still wondering if I should get a job, cuz Right now its summer and then I have school, and football practice and church some days. Will I be too busy?

Here, you'd need to be 16 at least. Game stores won't hire anyone less than 18 either. Might differ where you live though.

I think it is 16, although I think some places do hire 15 and possibly 14 year olds. But I don't know what they are. It also depends on the state.

You have to be atleast 16 to LEGALLY work. I suggest you ask your dad to hook you up with a job for the summer.

Usually it's 16. Gamecrazy won't hire you.

I think there's special papers you have to get in order to get a job at that age. I forgot what they're called, but I'm sure someone could tell you about them.

Mow lawns, walk dogs, baby sit, wash cars, ETC. There are tons of freelance jobs that don't require an age!

Where I live in Canada you can legally work at 14. At 16 you can start getting paid at minimum wage. Also at EB Games, they only hire if you have a grade 10 education or higher.
