I'm 14. i need money!!

I'm 14. can I get a real job? I live in arkansas, can I get a job here? I would like to work @ mcdonalds. what do I do for money!!!

well, if you know a lot of people, sometimes they'll give you a job and pay you. That's what I am doing over the summer.

consider babysitting.
or ask a bunch of fast-food/small buisnesses if they would like to hire someone like you.
even if it is to be the garbage lady, you still get money!
think of offering services like window washing store windows for a couple bucks an hour.

Legal Considerations:
Not many people are aware that they break the law when they work without fulfilling the basic requirements that involve teenage work. So let us see, what this is actually. Note this is not an exhaustive list and hence for accuracy you should check with your local guardian or legal advisor (at school or at any social center). Also be aware the each State Country may have different laws that cover teenagers working conditions.

Timings: Teenagers below 14 years old are usually not encouraged to work in offices. For those above 14 and above they should not be working at night. The legal hours are any time between 7 am to 7 PM ' of course ensuring that school is taken care of. Those between 16-19 years of age can be free to work as much and as long as they please. However, girls should always be wary and careful when working nights as crime increases at night.
Work areas: Teenagers may work anywhere they can be engaged with the exception of places where they could endanger themselves or others, such as construction sites, repair sites or garages, chemical and other types of processing, mining, messenger jobs, warehousing, adult clubs and bars.
Social security number: There are places where teens need a social security number to receive payment;
Taxes: Most of the time teen jobs do not involve tax payments and need not have any dedication in the paychecks. However, you need to consult the local IRS to ascertain this.
Each state and country has its own set of rules and what is valid in one may not be in another. Do not take anything for granted. Keep in mind that legal aspects are serious matters and you do need complication with the law. Check and be sure you fulfill all the legal formalities applicable for teenagers before you even apply for work. Ask the help of a responsible adult, such as your parents, teachers or relatives and seek out the correct answers - no such thing as a stupid question.

Wish you the best and always be alert, putting safety first !!

McDonald's doesn't hire at 14.
You have to be 15.
At least, you do here.
But I believe it would be the same anywhere else.

Maybe a FEW places hire at 14.
But you'll REALLY have to search to find one.

Try babysitting.
You just go play with kids for a couple hours.
What better job?!
Of course there are other parts of babysitting but, nothing too bad.
