What jobs can 13-year-olds get?

I just turned 14 on the 14th of february…and I had gotten my blue working card. Although there does seem to be a few jobs 14 year olds could work, they should definetely pay ‘more’ attention to school, than a job…

sometimes you know how when people are at the flea markets, you can asist or maybe hae your own thing, but I didnt do that, I just babysit, maybe you can too.

Just like “amblessed” said, check the laws in your state. I inquired at a local store when I was 13, and they told me I needed to be 14 to get my working papers (this is in New Jersey). So, just check your state’s labor laws, and if you can’t work til your 14, just wait the year, and just keep in mind, that at many chain stores you have to be 16 or 18 to work there.

people told me that 13 year olds cant get jobs and every tyme I ask they say no you have 2 be older watz up wit that

you need to be 18 to work in a cinema because of 18 films.

well 13yrs is a pretty good age to learn responsibility!!! I should know im 13 myself!!! if your 13 you could have a bake sale, babysit, or even have a yard sale of all the toys you have from when you were a little kid!!! I’ve done all these things except I’ve never had a bake sale but I plan on nit!!! so be creative do watcha gotta do!!!

You’ll have to ck the laws in your area - may require a permit..some ideas:

Legal Considerations: Not many people are aware that they break the law when they work without fulfilling the basic requirements that involve teenage work. So let us see, what this is actually. Note this is not an exhaustive list and hence for accuracy you should check with your local guardian or legal advisor (at school or at any social center). Also be aware the each State & Country may have different laws that cover teenagers working conditions.

Timings: Teenagers below 14 years old are usually not encouraged to work in offices. For those above 14 and above they should not be working at night. The legal hours are any time between 7 am to 7 PM ‘ of course ensuring that school is taken care of. Those between 16-19 years of age can be free to work as much and as long as they please. However, girls should always be wary and careful when working nights as crime increases at night. Work areas: Teenagers may work anywhere they can be engaged with the exception of places where they could endanger themselves or others, such as construction sites, repair sites or garages, chemical and other types of processing, mining, messenger jobs, warehousing, adult clubs and bars. Social security number: There are places where teens need a social security number to receive payment; Taxes: Most of the time teen jobs do not involve tax payments and need not have any dedication in the paychecks. However, you need to consult the local IRS to ascertain this. Each state and country has its own set of rules and what is valid in one may not be in another. Do not take anything for granted. Keep in mind that legal aspects are serious matters and you do need complication with the law. Check and be sure you fulfill all the legal formalities applicable for teenagers before you even apply for work. Ask the help of a responsible adult, such as your parents, teachers or relatives and seek out the correct answers - no such thing as a stupid question.

Wish you the best and always be alert, putting safety first !!
