McDonald's is one of the few places that will hire 14 year olds. So I suggest dropping in and getting an application/fill it out on their computer and talk to a manager if they're not busy.

I worked at Kroger at 14. I made very little money and was treated like a dog but I was proud that I had a job and my own money.

I babysat and cut people's grass, raked leaves, etc.  I earned tons of money as a babysitter, but being female it's easier to do that kind of work.  One of the few perks! 

[SJrowland]

looks like ill be serving patties for my guns

[Rage]

You can try Chic-fila they hire at 14 years old and I have a descent pay.

[SJrowland]

Which Chic fila you work at?

[Rage]

I don't work at chic-fila I can't be that nice all the time.  But my friend does he works in the one on 81 in anderson.

[SJrowland]

Oh, my bad.

[Rage]

Na your fine.  I work on airsoft guns and car audio and land scape so i make descent money in the summer.

[SJrowland]

Im probably just going to start cutting grass for old people, they pay good. No offense to old people. Hopefullly I wont die cutting grass. Being allergic to it.

[Rage]

Where a mask to prevent an allergic reactions or at least lower your risk. But since your allergic I would find something else to do. Try washing cars it's not hard to do. And you make a good bit money to

[SJrowland]

Yeah, Im going to wash cars....... In the winter, probably not. Ill just cut grass in the winter.

[Rage]

Grass doesn't grow in the winter. You can rake leaves in the winter.
