Jobs for Fourteen and Fifteen Year Olds

by Melanie
(New York)

Me and my sister are looking for jobs for fourteen and fifteen year olds. We are off for the summer and need to make some money bad. I wanted to work at a restaurant or store but I can't stand up for hours on end. I was in a car accident last spring and my back was messed up. I still wear a brace on a daily basis. Are there any desk or clerical jobs that a teenager can do if they are under sixteen? If I do find a job at someplace like Burger King or Subway on a part-time basis will I get a break after only working 3 or 4 hours?

My sister is a fourteen year old girl without any medical problems. She's been looking for work but everybody keeps telling her she's too young. Could you sue for discrimination or contact the equal employment opportunity people if they refuse to hire a teenager under 16 years old? I know it's a long shot, but you never know. Thanks for your help.

Easy Local Jobs for Teens Fourteen and Fifteen
by: Selena

I know finding jobs for fourteen and fifteen year olds can be hard. I remember when I was that age and wanted a job myself. I actually found work right downstairs in my building. I worked in the management office filing papers and other clerical type work.

I didn't have to do any heavy lifting or climbing on ladders. The guys brought the boxes over to the file cabinet and I sat in a chair and sorted and filed bills, rent receipts, repair reports, etc. So you should ask your super if they hire teenagers for the summer or part time after school too. Happy job hunting!
