The Best Job For A 14 Year Old

School - Important - IN THE SAME SENTENCE!?

 

OMG, NERD!!!!!!!!!!!

I am 15 and I have a job, believe it or not I put things on a website.

I get £5 an hour which is about $9.50 an hour.

 

I got offered a job because I did my work experience with them (the company), you will probably get the chance to do work experience soon, so you may be in luck.

 

Good luck with finding a job.

Perhaps I am in the minority, but does anyone else think it's silly to be offering advice to a 14 year old about how to get a job? You will have your WHOLE life to work! Why rush being a student? In some countries, education is something non-existent so you shouldn't take it for granted. I am 21 and work part time as a full time student, but I need to because private universities are RIDICULOUSLY expensive for international transfer students. You live in the UK, where education is virtually free... take advantage of that!

If he wants a job, let him be.

 

Many people live a great life without doing that much at school and working hard. And even better - some can do both without a problem - like me.

 

Getting a job was the best thing I've ever done.

I work at our local pool as a gatekeeper for $6.64 an hour. Next year I will apply for lifeguard training, where I can make $7.50 an hour!

[ash.1111]

Damn, you get paid nothing in the USA!

[DBru]

^Keep in mind, that's for a 14 year-old's summer job at the pool.

[ash.1111]

What's the lowest legal wage over there?

[DBru]

$6.55

 

(More in some states.)

[ash.1111]

So you're getting paid ilegally? hehe.

 

I feel happy then - I'm getting paid about $12-13 an hour. More on weekends

[TheBannedKid]

He is probably getting paid for doing a chore. It's not an actual business that he works for.

[DBru]

^^How is that illegal?

[ash.1111]

Oh wait I take that back. Sorry, mixed up the two

 

Haven't slept all night.

I'm 15 and I work at The Source/Radio Shack, I make $11.40ish an hour, and commission on warranty. If you're a tech guy, you could try a store like that!

^ Dude you make more money then my mom an hour! No wonder why were in a slump.

Yea but I'm sure that's close to minimum wage or less here in the states after the Canadian gov't takes taxes. Canada has taxes up the butt.

 

I live in Alberta, 5% tax and no PST, and because I'm a student I make all of it back in taxes. Our minimum wage is $8.40 here. I genuinely make $11.30 an hour and commission.

Selling Lemonade at a stand with bacwards letters is a good way to start.

[CoasterCrazy88]

^Spelling "backwards" correctly might be a good thing for a start.

 

In all seriousness, getting a good job when you are 14 is not very easy. Some theme parks and water parks will hire you at 15, though. In fact, at 15 it is a lot easier to get a job anywhere. Maybe you can just wait one more year, huh?
