Hello Jeremiah,

Embarking on Your Job Hunt at 14

At the tender age of 14, you can begin to delve into the world of employment, seeking out roles that align with your age and skill set. Although certain positions like bartending or casino dealing are off-limits due to age restrictions, there's a plethora of other alternatives to explore.

Part-Time Job Options for 14-Year-Olds

Here are some typical part-time jobs that are well-suited for 14-year-olds:

Retail: Try your hand at working in supermarkets, apparel shops, or bookstores.
Food Service: Consider roles such as a host, busser, or food runner in restaurants or fast food chains.
Yard Work: Offer services like lawn mowing, leaf raking, or snow shoveling.
Child Care: Babysit younger children after school or during weekends.
Pet Care: Look after neighbors' pets when they're away.
Academic Assistance: Tutor classmates with their homework or exam preparation.
Newspaper Delivery: Distribute newspapers within your local area.
Car Cleaning: Offer car washing and detailing services to family or neighbors.
Social Media Assistance: Help small businesses manage their social media accounts (if you're experienced).
Online Surveys or Reviews: Participate in paid surveys, write reviews, or test websites/apps (ensure parental guidance and verify legitimacy).
Building Skills and Qualifications at 14

To boost your chances of landing a job, concentrate on honing these skills:

Communication: Enhance your listening skills, articulate your thoughts clearly, and treat others with respect.
Time Management: Master the art of prioritizing tasks, working efficiently, and adhering to deadlines.
Teamwork: Learn to work in harmony with others through group activities, sports, or school clubs.
Leadership: Gain confidence by participating in extracurricular activities or volunteer work.
Adaptability: Stay open to learning new tasks and dealing with unexpected work situations.
Computer Proficiency: Acquire basic computer skills and get comfortable with popular software applications (like the Microsoft Office Suite).
Financial Literacy: Educate yourself about budgeting, saving, and responsible money management through online resources or teen-friendly personal finance books (like Dave Ramsey’s "Total Money Makeover for Young Adults").
Interpersonal Skills: Show kindness, empathy, and good manners when interacting with colleagues and customers.
Problem-Solving: Cultivate the ability to assess situations, pinpoint problems, and suggest feasible solutions confidently (try problem-solving games like chess or Sudoku).
Work Ethic: Display enthusiasm, commitment, and a drive to learn new skills and perform tasks to the best of your ability (set personal goals for self-improvement).

May God bless you on your journey!

Hello, Jeremiah !

It is good that you have asked us for ideas that can help you with inspiration for a career. You have expressed two things that you enjoy that can easily be turned into fulfilling work.

You can work in a casino once you turn 21, because that is the legal casino age in Florida. Online casinos, Online Sports betting and Online Poker happen to be illegal in Florida, however. Horse Race betting is 18 and older, though. So now that we have all the legalities and ages in place and you're fourteen years old now, let's see how you can do this when you're 21, the career as a casino dealer. You will need sharp math and customer service skills. You do not need any schooling for this career, but you can look on line for any Dealer courses that may be offered if that's what you'd like. You will be trained on the job at the particular casino that hires you. Sometimes you may have to take a position other than a dealer and work your way up to that. Keep practicing card playing with your friends and family and look further into whether or not you need to go to casino school, at what age and if you need certification in your state for it.

You've also asked about getting a job at the age of 14. Talk with your school about getting working papers. I have left a link below to Hire Teen which lists job openings in your town. Although it is a teen website, teen can mean 17 or 18 or 19 so I would suggest applying to anything that seems interesting to you. Try this for several months and also go around your local area to inquire in person if they hire people in your age range. This can be the most direct way you can find out, so you need to do leg work and invest time in random job applications. No one can exactly tell you "how to make money" because it will be up to you to take the steps. That includes actively applying for work. Contact your town hall to ask if there is a summer youth employment program, also. If there is, they usually serve your age range.

Since you like working out and going to the gym, consider a career plan goal of Physical Trainer. You can research this easily on line.

So these are some things to think about. Start applying for jobs, keep practicing your card games, do research about a career in Physical Training and look into youth opportunities for employment in your town. Read up on everything you are interested in as that will sure begin to muster up some inspiration ! Best wishes to you in all you do !
