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. Although this might sound highly shady, it's not so bad. 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 you that might need extra help like auto shops, gardening businesses, house painters, etc. Now go around and ask anyone if they need help with these things. You're bound to find a few customers. As long as you offer a reasonable fee, and come through with your basic services, you've got a job. It's under the table, but still, a job.
