• Answer:

  you should take any job you can get. at your age, the only thing you should be worried about is getting some basic experince. So heres what your gonna do: go to your local pizza shop, or favorite eaterie (NOT a mcdonalds or anything like that) and ask for a job, saying that your willing to start from the bottom namley washing dishes. When I was your age, thats what I did, and in about a year I was running the whole kitchen, and even got to come up with my own ideas for menu items...... of course then i went to college so i could get a real job
