How old do you have to be to get a job in Indiana?

Where can a 14 year old get a job in Indianapolis Indiana?

• I am 14 years old and I'm looking for a job, I live in Indianapolis, Indiana and can't seem to find a job online, can you help?

• Answer:

  It is going to be hard to find a summer job at this point. Here are some suggestions: 1. Go into business for yourself providing services such as yard work, babysitting, pet care, housework, car washing, cleaning decks, washing down houses, raking leaves, etc. 2. Look into being a counselor-in-training at a summer camp (e.g. YMCA). You may have to pay for your training this year, but you'd be qualified for a job in the future. 3. If you are a good swimmer, when you are old enough, get a lifeguard or water safety certification. 4. Go to stores, restaurants, etc. in person and fill out job applications. Dress business-style when you do so. 5. Ask people you know if they know of any jobs that you could do.
