rollerboy Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 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.

Bucket Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash.1111 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBannedKid Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 He is probably getting paid for doing a chore. It's not an actual business that he works for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calaway Park Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 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. -Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the sound Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Selling Lemonade at a stand with bacwards letters is a good way to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCrazy88 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 ^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? ----Antonio"good luck"G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
