How can 15 yr old teens get a good paying job?

I wana know da answer to dis toooo...I herd you cud work anywhere if you get dis working permit and get it signed by your parents and da place hiring or sumthin like that

Yes, in many states, you'll need a work permit (unless you work for your parents).

I grew up in Oregon, and you could get a work permit after you turned 14, so I'd make sure you have one before looking around for a job, if you need one in your area. Most of the states labor laws are online, or you can contact the local department of employment - you can find it searching for stuff like 'grants pass oregon department of employment' if you lived in grants pass, oregon, on Google, Yahoo, etc.

In terms of finding something that'll pay well, usually, for an entry level position, the best paying jobs are either highly physically demanding OR a job where you can earIn tips. Think construction, painting, starbucks, waiting tables, etc. You can also do some free lance car detailing yourself in your parents driveway, undercut the local dealers, and distribute flyers to advertise. I had a friend do that one summer & do fairly well.

Also use our site search to get some other ideas (upper right hand corner of the page) as lots of people have asked a very similar question. Good luck.

Most jobs you have to work your way up and earn the higher pay....here's some ideas:

City, County, State and other government-run Youth Programs
Vacation and Tourism spots
Hotels/Resorts
Parks and recreational areas
Swimming pools, golf courses and campground facilities
Day and summer camps
Amusement/Theme/Entertainment parks
Museums, Zoos and Aquariums
Airport concession firms
Childcare and Eldercare providers
Health care facilities
Business services (including)
Moving and packing companies
Pool and spa companies
Lawn care and other maintenance companies
Construction companies
Movie theaters
Fast food and restaurant establishments
Ice cream parlors, juice bars
Clothing and accessory stores
Newspaper / Magazine Distribution

Babysitting is always a good idea. It's fast cash and usually it's someone you know, so that's always easier.
Yes, in order to work somewhere being under 16 years of age, you need a workers permit.
However, MOST places probably will not higher you because you have no work experience and you are so young of age. Movie theaters will not higher anyone under 16. Neither will most restaraunts and even some places you have to be 18 to work at.
*Pizza Hut and Dominoes
*Grocery Stores
*Small Establishments
Do a little research about it because to get the workers permit, they have requirments and statistics you need to follow in order to recieve it.
Hope I helped and Good Luck

Actually, fill out your application before you get your worker's permit. If you hear back from them and have an interview date, get your permit before then. There's a sheet of paper your employer has to sign in order for you to work.
