• it's very legal to work in the US at the age of 14. most jobs won't hire you but that's they're choice. but good recommendations are supermarket, fast food places, hair saloons, the mall is always looking.! That's a great place for girls only because they are there most the time anyways.

• I did a search for jobs and found that teens of 14 and above can legally have a job. if you are 14-15 you can only work from 7 to 7. this is because you need time to study and get on with your school work remember this is important

• You Can Work Sweeping Hairdressers Pays around £30 a week or u can get A PAPER ROUND I GET PAYED £16 A WEEK

• There are lots of jobs a responsible 14 year old can do.

But first, I want to address the person who says it is legal for a 14 yr old to get a job. It might be legal where you are, but laws and regulations vary from state to state, maybe even from city to city. It would be best to check your local ordinances. The area where I live requires anyone under 16 to get a work permit in order to get a 'real' job like in a store.

For a teenager there are plenty of jobs you can do if you are truly willing to work, starting at the bottom, of course. Some pretty good suggestions have already been made, but the possibilities are really limited only by your own imagination.

Get creative. That is the REAL way to get ahead. You may find yourself doing some pretty distasteful jobs, but you may also get paid quite well for them.

For example, you could offer the service of cleaning pet 'droppings' from neighbors' yards. Yuck. But if they don't want to do it, they may pay a premium for the service.

You could also: >babysit (you can even just play with or otherwise occupy a small child for a busy parent works at home or just would like an extra helping hand. Also, in this vein, someone may hire you to spend time with a handicapped relative or visit with an elderly family member - just talking to them and keeping them company, reading to them, playing cards or other games...) For a job like this, it would serve you well to take a course in First Aid and CPR.

• petsit for people who can't bear to leave Fluffy alone all day while they go to work.

• walk dogs (I personally hate to walk the dog - especially when it's rainy or cold)

• run errands (if you are close enough to local businesses to ride your bike, walk or have access to public transportation) - pick up groceries, run to the post office, drop off dry cleaning, etc

• do yard work - mow the lawn and pull weeds in the summer, rake leaves in the autumn, shovel snow in the winter

• if you have any special talents you could do something like tutor other kids or you could give piano lessons, whatever you can do well

• water plants and/or the yard, bring in the mail and newspapers, for close neighbors who are out of town (start out with people who know you are responsible and trustworthy - they will make good future references!)

• how about part time light housekeeping? I hate cleaning my own home, but I don't mind so much when I help my grandma or sister. It's different when it's not your own AND when you are getting paid for it. :)

• just offer to do odd jobs for you neighbors: scraping and painting a fence, washing windows, pruning hedges, washing cars, help clean out a shed or garage...these kinds of things.

• you might be lucky and find a farmer who'll hire you to help feed and water livestock, clean stalls, pick produce, or any number of odd jobs. Maybe a local repair shop would pay you to sweep up, pick up lunch for the employees, etc. A nursery or greenhouse might have something you could do. And a bonus for all of your hard work at any of these kinds of jobs? If you work hard and pay attention, show interest, you may just pick up some skills that could serve you well in the future.

• When I was a teenager, I helped my grandmother do the bookkeeping for my grandpa's HVAC business. Many years later I was able to help my husband keep records for his first business because of the skills I incidentally picked up years before. Also, by helping my other grandpa work in his yard and garden, I developed an interest and the basic skills I needed to start my own greenhouse/nursery.

BUT...make sure you are reliable and responsible. Word of mouth is the best way to build a business even if it's just babysitting or odd jobs. Don't make promises you can't or won't keep. Don't take on jobs that are beyond your abilities. And NEVER take your promises lightly. Who would want to hire you if you keep canceling or putting them off because your friends asked you to go to the mall, or that cute boy or girl asked you to help them with their homework or to go to a movie with them...finally.

Negotiate price BEFORE you do a job. Might not hurt to get something in writing...people will take advantage of a kid - of anybody - if you let them.

And most of all BE SAFE! -Don't take a job from someone you don't know. -Don't take a job from someone you DO know if something doesn't feel right about it. -Make sure your parents or guardian know exactly where you will be at all times, who you will be with, and when you will be home. I would keep a journal or planner with your schedule in it, including the names, addresses, and phone numbers of your employers in it; as well as what kind of work you do for them, which days you work for them, and the time (i.e. Thursdays 10am-2pm - yard work for Mrs. Smith; 456 Elm St. #555-5555) -Keep in touch with parents during the day. If you babysit from 9am to 3pm for one person, cut someone else's lawn a 3:30pm, and walk a neighbor's dog at 4:45pm, your parents should know your schedule. Call when you arrive and again when you leave each location for your own safety. -Don't follow the same route everyday walking to a job, or if you are walking neighbors dogs. -And, above all, if something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts. Don't hesitate to tell someone 'no.' And make sure to mention your unease to anyone who will listen.

So, be creative, be responsible and be safe. And you should do just fine.

• You can go to eBay.com and start selling things. If you collect baseball cards or stamps, start selling those. If you have old clothes lying around your house, try putting that up on eBay. Also, a lot of adults have a lot of junk in their house (old clothes, antiques, shoes- things they never wear) and they just don't have time to put it on eBay or don't have the computer/internet knowledge. You can take pictures of their stuff and charge a commission for posting it for them.

• Like many people have said there are various odd jobs you can do in your village/town e.g car washing, mowing lawn, babysitting, walking dogs, building websites, helping elderly collect their shopping, Kennels and cattery's, washing up at pub restaurants

• the opportunity's I would say are endless but you are still young so that limits how much you can do I'm afraid, but odd jobs are your main focuses at this age.You are lucky because here in the UK people are kind enough to let you do decent jobs even if it is illegal, I worked at a kennels and cattery's at the age of 13 to 14 and was paid 3.50 an hour which was because they were generous people but it was very hard work so I quit I'm now searching for a job myself and I'm nearly 15 Why not try putting an advertisement in your local post office window to catch peoples attention!

• go to your local supermarket and ask around

• there is a lot of different jobs you can do. mowing lawns, walking dogs, baby sitting, lots of jobs. but if you don't like the idea of doing a ton of odds and end things and you want one job with a weekly payment of at least $60 a week then your in luck!!!from ages 13 to 17 you can get a job like that at the Boys and girls club. This is a cool place that teaches kids about respect,using their talents and having fun! look in your phone book for youth organizations and look for a boys and girls club in you town. I'm almost positive that you will find one(unless you live in a super small town.)

• Check the civil listing in your state or province's Child Labor Law. Then see what jobs you can have. Then, even if the employer says "We don't hire 14-year-old." You can show them the document where I says you can and then force them to take your application.

• try mowing lawns or babysitting in your local community

• Depends on what you consider a job. My neighbor had her 14 year old son post flyer's on gang boxes (main mailboxes) around the neighborhood offering to walk dogs and do yard work. He might also consider babysitting.

• McDonald's

• I'm sure laws in different states are different, but when I applied for a job, I had to get a work permit from my high-school counselor. Talk to them. They should have all the answers you need.
