What jobs can you get at 15?

What (summer) jobs can a 15 year old get in Troy NY!?!?

• I really don't want to take swimming lessons again and the only way i can get out of them is if I get a job... plus I get paid! SO... I'm a 15 year old looking for any summer jobs I can get... any SERIOUS answer will be much appreciated!

• Answer:

  at 15 you qualify for working papers, but your maximum hours are limited to 20 a week I think (atleast during school time). If I were in Troy I'd probably check out RPI's web site to see if they need any landscaping or food service people, ditto HVCC, or I'd take a drive through the tech. park near HVCC and find out what companies are there and then look them up on the web to see if they have positions. I'm sure its hard to get, but I know the company Vicarious Visions (they made guitar hero for the wii and they make DS games) looks for students to work as game testers during the summer months. That could be fun, and def. worth checking out. Price Chopper, Hannaford, etc. also have no problem hiring 14 & 15 year olds (but I'd make that last resort because bagging grociers sucks balls)
