Well, I'm turning 14 in a couple of months (Feburary), and-seeing as that's legal working age-I'd like to get a job FAST.
Any good recommendations?
Some info:
-I'm not a people person, I do NOT like having to CONSTANTLY talk to people-once or twice is good.
-I'm not working at a McDonalds/BK's/Any other fast food place. I hate ever even walking into them.
-Nothing that demands practically living in that working space (4-7 hour shifts are perfectly fine)
-Minimum wage is more than enough. (About 7 bucks here)
-Can't mow lawns. There's one blade of grass every 5 miles. -_-
-Can't work with family. Various reasons.
-Babysitting is okay, if not hard to find.
So...if anyone has some recommendations, I could REALLY use them. Thanks!

The only job you could really get as a 14 year old, is a dishwasher or something. Most likely something close to your house, within walking distance. Until you can drive, that's the only 'job' that would work.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but I think at 14 you can't really find a decent job @_@ God, knows I tried. I must have went to at least 20+ fast food places trying to find a job & they wouldn't hire me because I was too young. I waited until this summer (I'm 16.) & it's way easier now. @_@. But why don't try finding work at small groceries o_o
Basically the best job you could get at 14 would be working at Market Bastek, if there are any where you live.

Work shit out with your family. Family problems dont go so well if they carry on for months/years. And you're 14. Really, REALLY, REALLY hard to get a job unless you could write some good ass resumes and have a good reference. Close teacher or old adult. You'll also need a work permit... Well.. im not sure about work permit but thats how it is in california. They will have many restrictions.for example, you cant do any heavy lifting, handle machinery, cook, or any of the other things people do. Theres a lot more to it and im really lazy.. So if you would like to hear more add my msn AznTragedy[@]hotmail.com Or if you got aim XTHESadStory.

how about retail? i've worked in retail for 1.5yrs, and it's not too bad. and, since your barely turning 14, (like respect said) it'll be really hard for you to get a job unless you can show you're a skilled worker (or if there is a place desperate enough to hire you).
you also need to keep in mind that this will be your first job. if you have to do something you're uncomfortable with, DEAL WITH IT. it's a part of growing up. if you don't want to interact with people, or working at a fast food place, don't get a job. easy as that. if you REALLY want a job, you'll get one whether you like it or not.
