Ted’s Answer

It's fantastic to see you so driven at such a young age! My 14-year-old nephew works as a busboy at a nearby restaurant, saving up for his dream car, a Ford Mustang. You can discover other exciting opportunities at local eateries too. If you're interested in developing "soft skills" like customer service, consider jobs in retail stores and neighborhood shops. My suggestion for someone starting out is to find enjoyable work with great people in those organizations. Embrace the fun of your youth while expanding your skillset. Your focus puts you ahead of the curve, and that's truly impressive!

Courtney’s Answer

Hi Alvin! After a quick Google search, it looks like 14 is the minimum age required to be hired in Texas, so you should be old enough to work anywhere. My advice would be to start thinking about what kinds of jobs interest you and will work with your school schedule and other responsibilities you have. That may help narrow down the kinds of places you'd like to apply. I know the service industry is a common place to find first jobs, such as restaurants, movie theaters, and coffee shops. You can also start a business for yourself, like babysitting or yard work. There are lots of opportunities for a great first job that will allow you to earn some extra money and give you experience in the workforce. Good luck to you!

You have the right mindset. I would first find out the legal age that you can work in the state that you reside. Then do a quick search on current job opportunities. Usually, depending on your state, Supermarkets, mall, maybe office assistant are great places to start. Good luck on your search!

David’s Answer

You don't necessarily have to get a job at a business. You could mow yards or do odd jobs around your neighborhood and town. If your active in a sport or sports a job at a business may not work with your schedule. There are lots of elderly people or people with health problems that could use the help. You never know one of the people you mow yards for or do odd jobs for may help you find an interest you hadn't given any thought about or be someone who could help connect you with someone that has many years of experience in a career you'd like to get into or be able to open some doors for you, or help you get your foot in the door of a good job that is hard to get on at or doesn't hire many people because they have a very low turnover rate and only hires when someone retires.

E’s Answer

A productive approach I've seen locally for high school students is to leverage community and school social networks to identify opportunities to help their neighbors with task work. For example, does your neighborhood have a Facebook group? Have your folks help you make a posting advertising your services in something you have a skill in - that could be answering telephones, editing photos, organizing closets, mowing lawns, you name it.
