So, you're 14-years-old and looked for a part-time job, and just can't seem to find one. Don't worry, there are other options. It's time to look into getting paid, under the table.

There are a number of basic services you can offer that allow you to get paid on a semi-normal basis, but not at legal establishments such as restaurants and grocery stores. Think of some services that you may be able to offer, such as babysitting, lawn mowing, driveway shoveling (during the winter) and tutoring. Also, think of any privately owned businesses around ...

Ideas for 14 Year Old's Jobs

Tom Cruise's son Connor is a 14-year-old actor.
At the age of 14 you can legally work in the United States, still it's hard for most minors to find a job. Why is this? Because even though you are allowed to work, you must still obtain a work permit from your school, and there are limits on how many hours you can work during a single day, or week.

Because of this, many employers choose not to hire minors in their establishments because working with their schedules sometimes proves to be too difficult. Still there are options.

We've provided you with a list of possible job opportunities. Remember, even thought you're a minor, still apply at any establishment you would like to work at. What's the worst they can do? Turn you down. But if you get the job, you're set.

Some Places to Apply
Restaurants - You can work as a host, cashier, dishwasher or bus boy/girl
Cafes/Delis/Bakeries
Ice Cream Shops/Candy Stores
Fast Food Restaurants
Grocery Stores
Retail Stores
Hotels/Bed and Breakfasts
Movie Theaters
Amusement Parks

Officies - You may be able to get a job working at the front desk of an office

If You Can't Seem to Find a Job
If you can't seem to find a job, don't worry, you have a number of other options

Ask neighbors if you can mow their lawn or garden for a weekly fee.
If you live somewhere that snows, shovel driveways.
Walk dogs in the neighborhood.
Become a babysitter or a nanny for family, friends or neighbors.

If you live in an apartment complex that is privately owned, ask the manager if they need help cleaning or doing basic mainentance for a small fee.
