Any jobs a 15 year old can work?

What sort of jobs can a 15 year old girl work as in the US?

• I want my daughter to get a job, but she's 15. She doesn't want to work around food, and she can't babysit. Any ideas for a good place to work?

• Answer:

  when i was 15 i got a work permit and worked at a big local amusement park as an usherette at a show in the park. there were other jobs types there available for 15 year olds, but working in kitchens and around rides was not allowed b/c potentially dangerous. also there was a limit on the number of hours a day and number of days in a row that i could work. so maybe a movie theater, an outdoor park managing crowds and cleaning up, retail, grocery store. unfortunately right now jobs are in big demand so i've hear it is more difficult for kids to get jobs. you might also consider her volunteering somewhere, if making money is not a necessity. lots of places need volunteers and there's a big variety of things she could do.
