Well, I just got a job with Coke as a merchandiser. They stock the the shelves in stores. get paid by the day, mileage, and overtime (although it's weak). MAin thing is, I've had days that were only 5hrs long and i still get paid for the whole day.

[vwracer14]

i was going to change oil at wallmart but im to young

[Damien]

oh...youre 17. then um...wait till youre 18.

[vwracer14]

I had some kind of job from the time I was 16... I worked retail mostly. Sucks, but it gives you some cash.

There has to be SOMETHING that can hire you now until you are 18 and have a lil more variety.

[gouldie1903]

find a small local pizza place to get a job. they ussually bend the rules about being 18.

[jmrev]

get into electrical. become an electrcian, make a whopping 65K a year!

[fredjacksonsan]

Why not head to the local drugstore (like CVS or Walgreen's) or the local WalMart? WalMart is always hiring.

can't you just get a workers permit? i know where i live you need one if you are under 16 and are going to work. look into it.

I started working when I was 15. I was able to get a work permit through city hall early because my birthday was within 6 months or something. Anyway, look into getting a permit. I guess the laws about working age vary by state, but here in Illinois you can definitely work at 16. And like gouldie said, smaller pizza shops will let you slide even without a permit. I worked next door to this one shop in Tallahassee and there was one kid who was 14!

Also check with your local gov't to see if there are any jobs available for people under 18. here, they have a whole "Summer Youth Employment Program" to link up local kids with jobs. My friend's little brother is 15 doing light gardening type work for Northwestern University making $8.50 /hr. He says its not even hard work... they ride around in an air conditioned van most of the day

sure, you can work at 17. but it doesnt mean the job has to hire you. mianly cause you have to be 18 to operate a lot of stuff

i just applied to be a pizza hut delivery driver yesterday. you need to have been driving at least one year to apply there, have a valid drivers license *duh*, list any accidents or moving violations in the last 3 years, stuff like that. i don't think there was an 18+ requirement, at least here at this pizza hut in WI. i checked, and with tips here where i live they make on average $13-$20 an hour. good luck with it

[00accord44]

So what is the base pay as a pizza delivery driver? I always wondered cuz in Tallahassee where I went to school, about 90% of the pizza eating population is college students (aka poor) so tips are few and far between but maybe delivering such a large volume makes up for it. Somebody has to drop a decent tip here and there.

But I assume in areas with a more diverse population (age wise) tips would be considerably better

My buddy is 17 and they just started letting him deliver at a ma and pa shop, they give him $2 everytime he goes out for a delivery and then tips is different for everyone i guess, but hey I work at Mcdonalds,dont like it but I dont have much of a choice at this age.
