What is it like to have a web design job?

What kind of Child Labor laws are present for a Web Design job which pays by salary not hours?

• I am 17 years old and attend both high school and college, although my high school is a hybrid-type school in which I do not need to attend classes if I don't want to. I was offered a job in web design recently which seems to be a difficult field to categorize by child labor laws. I would be working from home mostly and the hours would not be recorded. Is this legal? Would I be able to get a work permit for this? This is a great opportunity for me and I would hate not being able to do it. Thank you.

• Answer:

  Best bet, Call your local bar association and ask for a referral to a labor attorney specializing in child labor law. Most will see you once for a small fee or for free and discuss what your legal needs might be. It would certainly be a more reliable answer than something off the internet.
