How can I get a job in 15 years old?

I'm 15 years old, where can I get a job, and can I start a computer repair business?

• Hi I turned 15 2 weeks ago, and just before my twin brother got a job. He's getting loads of money from it, and to be honest I'm getting a bit jealous of how much money he has. Where can I get a local job, he is working at a pub doing washing up and stuff, he got it by going and asking all the pubs whether they had any jobs, one pub put his name on a list and then a week later phoned him to work there. My dad suggested starting up my own computer business, like fixing viruses or stuff, but I'm not sure whether he was joking or not. If it is possible how do I start it? P.S. I don't want to work in a fast food restaurant, it has to be local as well because my mum already takes my sister to work most nights.

• Answer:

  A really good idea would be to work in a computer repair business yourself before you start your own. If you are 15, I would strongly recommend finishing school - you have plenty of time to start businesses later in life. If owning your own computer repair business is your dream, then that's great - you know where you want to go, which lots of people take years to discover. The question that someone will ask you before giving you this type of job will be 'do you take apart and repair computers yourself at home as a hobby'? If you can answer yes to this question, there is no reason that you can't get a part time job doing this and keep going to school during the week. Good luck.
