Getting a job during high school is it hard?

Getting weekend job while dorming at high school??

• I'm starting the 11th grade at a high school in Georgia next month. I will be staying on campus. I'm not from the US so i'm really not sure about how the rules go when it comes to these things...but i was wondering, will i be able to get a job lyk maybe on weekends? I'm 16yrs old. If so, what kinda places could i work at, for how long each day, and what would i be paid roughly. thanx in advance..

• Answer:

  Most likely your visa will not allow you to work in an established business (that would be one that would require a social security number). This is true if you are on a J1 or F1. You can however, do things such as babysitting, tutoring, lawn mowing, etc. up to 10 hours per week. For those types of jobs, check with your school counselor.
