Retail / hospitality jobs that hire 14 year olds

Grocery stores and supermarkets are amongst the biggest employers of 14 year olds in Saturday and summer jobs, working as cashiers, shelf stockers and trolley/kart attendants.
Fast food restaurants, cafes and bistros employ young people as a matter of routine.
Retail delivery by bike or on foot is sometimes required by local stores, such as pharmacies, with local customers, particularly mothers with children and older people.
Hotels and resorts are big providers of seasonal and part-time employment, for young people working as waiting staff, kitchen porters, dishwashers, etc.

Public venues

Tourist facilities and venues are also good sources of seasonal employment, particularly amusement, theme and entertainment parks.
Cinemas employ young people.
Local leisure facilities may need staff, including museums, zoos, aquariums, parks and recreational areas.
Sports facilities such as swimming pools, golf courses and campground facilities frequently have openings.

Locating a suitable job for a 14 year old:

The first step in finding work is to identify all the possible employers in your local area. Either phone up to ask if they employ people of your age, or call in. Always be on your best behaviour when contacting potential employers and dress smartly if visiting in person.
If you are going to provide your own services, such as babysitting or car washing, prepare a small leaflet with your details on it. Hand it around your neighbours, giving them more than one copy so they can pass one on to a friend as well.
Talk to your school’s careers office about summer job openings and also internships or placements.
Explore online jobs websites for openings in your locality.
Many chat rooms and message boards for young students carry tips about where work is available locally. Take a look and see if any is of use to you. Look up ‘teen help’ or ‘teenage jobs’ and see what comes up. Be patient – this search may take a while, but it will be worth it.
Make use of any careers office or service that is offered for teenagers. These people will usually know which local employers are worth approaching.

You can open a CD, or a high interest rate savings account from ING Direct or E-trade, but whatever you do, you aren ot going to end up with a lot more money by August. The way make money grow is commiting it long term.

Nagesh answers:

You are going to make more money working for yourself than you will working for someone else. Steer clear from those online survey sites or anything else that sounds too good to be true. Get to the library for books like Fast Cash for Kids by Bonnie & Noel Drew or a number of other book titles that your Librarian can help you find. Stop wishing and start doing!!!

Nagesh answers:

Ask your parents to buy you snacks.
Like apples or breakfast bars.
Carry them in your purse that way you won’t be tempted to buy fast food.

Eventually, you’ll start getting fat from eating fast food – and your habit will stop – maybe.

I don’t think there is a way to do that. I know of cheat for other things (like money, food, presents, etc.) but none for making it grow older faster. I guess you’ll just have to feed and exercise it regularily if you want it to grow. Good luck. 🙂
