Hey guys what up, I come to the OT board which i barely visit cause well I need some OT info you know!hehe anyways, I was wondering if you guys know anything about working in the USA at 15?Im currently 15 and really want to get a job to get some money and stuff.Anyway, I know there are some special laws about this, but a google search could not find them(maybe im not using the right keywords o.O).So if you guys know any information about what i need to do where i can work and stuff I would appreciate it.Also some common stores that you know hire 15 year olds might help(in United States once again).

Thank you in advance :)

Yeah I used to fix cars, change oil, change tires, clean stuff and fill trucks up with gas for my dad and at my moms office, I had an office job where I filed and really did nothing.

Eventually, I got my frst car and a good job out of them.

Right now I'm just working on oil changes and tire changes...I'm taking transportation Technology right now at my high school so I can learn more about cars...

But damn, it's getting hectic with tire changes now that winter's around the corner...

I was working when I was 11, so I don't see anything wrong. You should try asking around, like family and friends, you can get great hook ups that way.

Man, I love living in canada sometimes. There are lots of jobs geared to people 12-16. Pretty decent pay too. I'm getting a job in april where I'll make 96 bucks a week working 3 days a week.

You need to go to your school and see if they have job application slips. In order to work where I live, you need to fill out a form before you go searching for jobs. After that, you can go to McDonalds or somewhere else.

I've been to my cousins' Cold Stone in Palm Beach County many, many times. I assure you there's one in Miami.

Yes you can. You just need a permit. Although I doubt anyone would higher you because you are 15, and the restrictions put on your hours by the permit at 15 years old are like uh

15 year olds can get jobs. I started my job at 15. And as regrettable as it was, it was still legal. But if I were you, I'd wait til you were 16, cuz then you can snag the better jobs (in MI, you have to be 16 to be a stock person, because of "boxcutters of doom" lol). Enjoy youth as much as possible. I'm still young (17) but I've been working for 2 years now and it's a real drag. :(. But if money is that important to you, then have at it.
