Whats a good job to get when you are 15?

Whats the best job a 14-15 year old can get?

• I know how to get a workers permit, and am 14 years old and soon turning 15, and I want a decent job. No, I'm not talking mowing lawns or babysitting, I mean things like restaurants or public places. So what would be the best job I could get where I wouldn't be under-qualified and get a decent pay? Also if it helps somewhere at least $100 a week. If you need more help, I live in Illinois

• Answer:

  Grocery stores and Retail stores will sometimes hire 14-15 year old teenagers, though your hours might be limited at first while they figure out if you're taking the job seriously. You'll probably get minimum wage, but if you work on weekends and a few hours after school, you could easily break $100/week. If your grades are good, you might be able to tutor younger kids privately a few hours a week - you could easily get $20/hr doing that but don't expect more than 2-5 hours a week unless you get well known for it. That's what I did and it was a great experience which helped me in college earn more money an hour tutoring.
