Hello, Hoshi !
Embarking on a venture for your first job is both exciting and great personal growth experience ! Although no one is going to guess what your first job will be, there is information and advice that can help you along.
Two years ago, your state of Arkansas did away with having to get a Work Permit (Working Papers), so you will not have to obtain those. You can just start applying for jobs when you're 14. You will have a job you can work only when school is not in session and you can work only a certain number of hours per day and week.
One suggestion to see about jobs is to visit your local hospitals and nursing homes for work in food service or housekeeping/cleaning. If you can do data entry, that may be a good option at a hospital.
The first place you should go as soon as possible is the Harrison Youth Council’s Youth Employment Service Program ! This is your first stop. They provide complete employment services including even helping you write a resume. They even place you in a job ! So go there soon. The program is located at the Sollazzo Center 270 Harrison Avenue, Harrison on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 A.M. to 12 noon. They are located at Harrison High School throughout the school year. So check with the high school first.
Your Department of Labor has a Summer Youth Employment Program. They don't seem to have a website, but this will be something that can guarantee you a job after you apply and are accepted for the program. Contact the Department of Labor or speak with your guidance counselor at school to follow up on this as soon as possible. Most Summer Youth Employment Programs start taking applications in March or April for jobs starting in July. So if you want to work, get a head start on this now. The program pays you for working at a participating site, usually a non-profit place, including hospitals. Call Danny Presley at the Summer Youth Employment Program at (870) 741-2777 and call soon.
Since you have generous employment services where you live, I think that your first job can be obtained through one of the assistance groups in your town. They not only provide you with a job but also the support that goes along with it.
I hope this helps and I wish you all the best !

My main and most serious advice as a "Seasoned Socio-Political Anthropologist of 40 Plus Years & The Ohio State University Professor-- Emeritus"
is DO NOT WASTE ANY TIME OR EFFORTS WITH ANY GOVERNMENTAL Programs !!!
Be independent, be fluid, be entreprenurial, be creative, be your own boss // Start your own company.
Let me give you a practical & real-life example of how realistic this advice can hit home !!!
My 10 year old Gr-Da & her best friend have started their own jewelry company making & marketing their own "school-color"
based bracelets & necklaces E.G. = Ohio State 's Scarlet & Grey. They came up with a company name, an on-line catalogue,
marketing & mailing strategies, initial funding from Parents & Gr-Parents, and manufacturing plans! & They ARE Successful!
If Two 10 kids can pull off an enterprise of this nature-- what is stopping YOU ?

Hey Hoshi!
First off—super exciting that you’re already thinking about becoming a lawyer at 14! I mean, look at you, already preparing for the future while everyone else is still figuring out how to get through middle school. That’s seriously impressive! 🎓👩⚖️
Now, about that job… let’s dive into it. You’re going to need some funds to fuel those future lawyer dreams, right? So, here are some ideas that will help you get your feet wet while saving up for school:
1. Babysitting
You can’t go wrong with this classic! Babysitting is like the "OG job" for teenagers. You can start by offering your services to neighbors or family friends. Plus, it’s the perfect job if you want to work flexible hours while also practicing your lawyer-like skills of negotiation and diplomacy (you know, convincing the little ones to go to bed on time).
Pro Tip: Babysitting is a great way to start learning how to manage your time, communicate clearly, and even work under pressure. You might be negotiating bedtime or snack times, but hey, those skills can translate to a courtroom one day!
2. Pet Sitting/Dog Walking
If you’re an animal lover, this one’s perfect. You can offer pet sitting or dog walking services for neighbors and friends. Not only do you get to hang out with cute animals, but you’re also earning money while getting some exercise (and potentially making some serious "paw-sitive" connections, haha!).
Pro Tip: People love their pets like family. You can become their trusted “pet lawyer” and win their business by showing that you’re responsible and reliable. The more you help, the more repeat customers you’ll get!
3. Lawn Care or Yard Work
It’s outdoors, it’s productive, and—bonus—it’s a job you can easily start at 14. Mowing lawns, trimming hedges, and pulling weeds are all things you can do in your neighborhood to earn cash. You’ll be helping your neighbors while building your savings for lawyer school.
Pro Tip: This job gives you a chance to become a master of time management. You’ll need to figure out how to juggle lawn care with your schoolwork, which is basically the adult version of handling a busy schedule. Future lawyer skillz, right?
4. Online Gigs (Tutoring or Freelancing)
If you're good at a particular subject, consider tutoring younger kids who need help in school. Or if you're creative, you could try freelance writing, graphic design, or even editing work. These jobs allow you to use your brain power (and future lawyer negotiation skills!) to earn cash from the comfort of your home.
Pro Tip: Online gigs teach you how to manage projects and deadlines, which is a great foundation for any career. You might be helping with homework today, but one day, you’ll be arguing cases in court with that same attention to detail!
5. Retail or Food Service Jobs (When You Turn 14)
In some places, you might be able to get a part-time job at a store or restaurant when you’re 14, depending on the laws in your area. It's a great way to learn about customer service, responsibility, and how to handle different situations (like tricky customers), all while earning money for your future.
Pro Tip: Retail jobs can help you hone your communication skills. You might not be defending a client in front of a judge, but you’ll be learning how to handle situations and keep cool under pressure. Bonus points if you can charm a customer like a seasoned lawyer persuading a jury!
6. Sell Your Crafts or Art (If You’re Creative!)
If you have a knack for making things like jewelry, art, or other cool crafts, you could sell them online or at local markets. This gives you a way to make money while doing something you enjoy.
Pro Tip: This job can teach you a lot about entrepreneurship and how to sell yourself (in a totally non-creepy way). You’ll get familiar with marketing and branding—skills that could come in handy when you’re working on your lawyer "brand" in the future.
7. Volunteer or Intern (for Experience)
While not technically a paid job, volunteering at a local organization or internship (maybe even a law office if you can find one willing to work with someone your age) is a great way to gain experience. Plus, it will look awesome on your resume when you apply for jobs in the future!
Pro Tip: Even if you’re not getting paid in cash, you’re investing in your future by building experience, making connections, and showing that you’re serious about your career goals. You might even learn some legal stuff along the way!
Final Thought: Patience, Young Grasshopper!
At 14, you’ve got time and energy on your side. The fact that you’re thinking ahead about your career as a lawyer is awesome, and every job you take will give you valuable life skills—like time management, people skills, and responsibility—that will make you an even better lawyer one day.
Stay focused, stay determined, and remember: you’re working on your future, one step at a time. Maybe your first case will be defending your paycheck from the snack monster in your wallet, but hey, it’s all part of the journey!

You should develop skills related to automating simple task in excel or PowerPoint and try helping people who would need help in completing those work quickly. This is more like a entry level job but for your age it would give you much experience in terms of understanding the concepts of excel and PowerPoint and also it would help you in future when you work as a lawyer to build cases which needs good presentation to client as well as keeping the financial aspects via excel. It’s easy to learn in very short time and also give you much financial support to pursue your law degree. Hope this advice would help you. Take care and all best wishes for your future career planning
Learn Excel Formula Automation using AI
Learn Creating PowerPoint slides using AI
Advertise your skills on social media with some projects you completed during learning
Be confident when people contact you and never compromise on the cost of work if you are confident of completing
Get a draft ready for the time taken for each type of task so that an estimated time can be agreed with customer after understanding from them how much time they would take

Hi Michelle,
I'd recommend looking for a job in retail. These jobs allow you to find an industry that you are interested in, or simply a brand you like, and work for them. They often offer flexible hours that will allow you to work full/part time around your school schedule. Additionally, retail jobs will give you the skills to sell and get comfortable talking to complete strangers. This will help in all of your future jobs as you'll be able to "sell" your skills as a candidate, and you'll be able to confidently speak to or work with diverse groups of people.
Technical skills can be learned, but personal skills are much harder to develop in employees. For these reasons, I recommend looking for retail jobs to help develop those skills and help you get comfortable talking to people and understand social dynamics. It can also be a lot of fun, offer discounts on products or services, and can be a great opportunity to learn about the products you sell.
Other options might include manual labor jobs (like construction or ranch hands), service jobs (restaurants), or general assistance jobs (clerical). Manual labor could be good if you like working outdoors but offers few perks. One of my favorite jobs was working at a plant nursery. My very first job when I was 14 was working in a doctor's office helping with filing. I later worked at an office where they were scanning all of their patients charts to create digital records. Clerical jobs can be repetitive but can also offer good flexibility to your schedule. I've never had a proper waiting job in the service/restaurant industry other than washing dishes, but I've heard that it's good experience and waiters can make a lot of money in tips (if they are good at it).
I hope this helps! Best,
-John
