Well, I just turned 14 the 15th.
And I really need a job. Besides from the money, I think a little hard work would be good for me.
Teach me the value of money, hard work, blah blah.

Anyway, being I'm so young its a bit difficult to find anyone who would hire me.
Does anyone here have any suggestions on where I could work, or what I could do?
Advice is greatly appreciated.

Lemonade Stand.
Shovelling snow (if you get snow).
Mowing lawns.
Raking leaves.
Taking dogs for walks.
Grooming dogs.
Cleaning up the city.

Those are just a few, there are a lot you can do at the age of 14.

I'm not so great at flash. I have the program and everything, and can draw well...
but I'm looking for a job. Thats more of a...contest sort of thing.

I need a little more money then that...

Shoveling snow (if you get snow).

I do that in the winter already, but I'm preferring a normal job. Like one indoors, and not so cold.

Mowing lawns.

Eh, no one in my prissy neighborhood will want a 14 yearold over a team of illegal aliens.

Raking leaves.

^^^

Taking dogs for walks.
Grooming dogs.
Cleaning up the city.

I'll look into it.

Sweeping and cleaning up around a store for below minimum wage sounds good.

Paper route. I made $60 a month when I did mine, which was a substantial amount for a kid like me.

If you're really serious about getting a job, consider getting working papers. Because, since you're under 18, some states require you to have them to legally be able to work. After you get them....apply for some jobs.

This doesn't mean you'll get the top of the line jobs obviously lol, but you can try to get a better one than the normal "hey can I mow your lawn for $20?"

Working Papers

Plus, if an employer sees that you went to the trouble to get working papers, they'll be like "damn, this kid means business..."

Always be a step ahead.

Video-editing, animating, gaming.....that's a balanced diet.

Well, my same aged friend, what you need to do first is get a Workers Permit. You just reached the age to get one, and most places will NOT hire you unless you have one! Talk to a school counsiler (Yeah, i know i didn't fuckin spell it right, big whoop, wanna fight about it?) about the terms and conditions to get and KEEP one. ^_^

And so all was safe again in the realm of Lee........NOT! >:D

You can't have a real employer because you're too young.

You're going to have to get your hands dirty I'm afraid - dog walking, gardening, etc.

Why don't you find out yourself? NG is REALLY the place to ask.
Should've asked your parents, they would give the best advice.
Come on! You picked NG before your parents?

I don't think you can have a legitimate job until you're 16, maybe 15 with a worker's permit.

Paper round.
Washing up in a restaurant.
Other menial shit.

Seriously, the novelty of 'work' wears off pretty fast. When you're that young, you'll be working your arse off for very little pay. Don't let yourself get sucked into the trap of paid slavery.

Those are just a few, there are a lot you can do at the age of 14.

But you'll have to wait a few years before you can get a job at the supermarket, or McDonalds or something.
