Well, my younger brother had a perfectly legal job at a restaurant recently when he was 14. I had a job last year with the Census dept. (great job, but not going to be an option this year) and it's good experience. My brother had a job with the VFW when he was even younger too, you might have a better chance getting a more informal job, if you have associates for clubs or groups around you you might do well to ask them if they know of something. Just some thoughts.

You can definately get a job with little or no experience but you have a good positive attitude. This might be hard when people around you are discouraging. But you need to overcome it and show the world that you can do anything and YOU CAN! Plus do not expect them to call you. It is your responsability to keep in touch with the sources so you can get a job for yourself! Drop by at least once a week to your desired business or several! Employers really do like that positive attitude. So smile and get out there with some enthusiasim.

In New Jersey, you can get a job at 15. 14 is harder, but I dont think there's a set limit... And the applications dont even ask my age, and i look mucher older than 15. So I doubt age would be a problem.

About full time though... is there actually a limit on that? My mom said for part-time jobs you get screwed by working just under the minimum so they dont need to give you benefits that you would get for full-time jobs, like you work 34 hours instead of 35, which is the limit for benefits or whatever.

Thanks for all your advice and help. I'm going to hand in my applications today.

And I might check out Aspen East, cause my friends mom suggested to me that its a good place to work... I've never been there before though. So I dont know about that...

All of you guys saying he won't get a job are INSANE. Legal working age is 14 in New York State, you just need to get your working papers first. And there are lots of jobs that people can do without experience and have simple tasks you can learn at work.

i want to work at Dunkin\\
