Where Can I get a job at 14?
I'm kind of draining all the $ out of my parents with my phone. I want to help. Where/What can I do to earn some money at age 14? And please don't say "raking leaves, shoveling snow etc..." I want a real job. Thanks in advance!
Jason =D
EDIT: I'm very dedicated and hard-working. I'll do whatever I'm told. I'm a good listener and take things seriously.

businesses such as Publix, Kroger's, Food Lion, Sonic, Chic-Fil-A, McDonald's, Winn-Dixie, Krystal's, Dairy Queen, Burger King along with smaller local businesses that are in the same genre tend to hire those your age. fast-food and grocery stores are willing and able to train new employees.
it is legal to be gainfully employed in every state at 14 but....................
with the job market such as it is it will be difficult, the jobs that use to be in the realm of teens and retirees are now being taken by adults trying to support their families. the hours a minor can work legally are limited and it is much easier to hire an adult.
minors also tend to have many issues that effect their work such as tardiness, absenteeism, numerous schedule request, poor work-ethic etcetera.
i am not implying you will have those issues but the fact that many your age do makes it more difficult for you to get an opportunity.
most businesses are individually owned and operated so it is the owners policy and past experience with minors that will determine if they will hire you.
apply everywhere you can, the worse that can happen is they don't hire you.
for information concerning work permit, hours you can work, jobs that you can do etcetera go to:

EDIT:
when you apply you must be able to show through your words and actions and through the words of your references that you have those traits and that you are reliable, dependable, trainable, coachable, punctual and a team player.
