I'm 15 and looking for a job but I have to be 16 to get one, I tried everywhere but nobody will hire me if I'm not 16. I'm tired of relying on my parents for everything and having to wait. I can't cut grass cause in my neighborhood we have people that do that, my mom don't want me to do a yard sale, I'm not doing a lemonade stand, Idk what to do.
Can someone tell me what stores or business hire 15 yr olds, I looked online but stores like giant eagle and walmart but they only hire 16+, I have to wait 8 months until I turn 16. So do i wait it out, do I make a lemonade stand, what do I do.

When I was 13 I started to get into the CS:GO trading stuff. I ended up with $13k profit and actually bought my car just off of cs:go money. I quit with all of that because lately cs:go has gone to shit, same with Steam...
Since you are 15 though, it will be hard to get a job. I have a job at McDonald's, which since mine is a franchise and not a corporate McDonald's I get great benefits. I only make $8.70 ($7.25 minimum wage), but they pay 40% of college tuition so I plan to stay here throughout my college career. Anyways you can work in the front of the store doing register, window, and table service when you are 15. So I would check out your local fast food restaurants as they are always hiring.
Don't be picky either, apply to them all and wait to see if any of the call you. Depending on where you live though, things might be different. You would have to look into whether or not you can work at 15, and what the work limitations are for you, especially during the school year.
Hope this helps, good luck with finding a job, it can be rough!

When I was younger (14 -15) I worked at a bowling alley, Where I'm from though a lot of places will employ you before your 16. Just ask around, maybe if you have a connection such as family or friends that already have a job that you're willing to do maybe they can help you get a part time job where ever that may be. (Also you could do graphic arts and stuff like that, if you make good enough stuff people will pay for it)

Honestly, not many companies will employ anyone under the age of 16, because of insurance issues and whatnot, What about a paper round or something?

Just because people hired others to do their yard doesn't mean you can't do it. Find out their price, and under cut it. Most businesses need to charge a certain amount or they won't do the yard and if you cut them to that price, people will usually switch over. Just be sure you can do a good job.
Also, you're 15. You're going to be relying on your parents until you're 18 whether you have a job or not. And even at 16, I doubt you'll get a very good job. Close to minimum wage and only a handful of hours. You're looking at 100-200 a week pay.
Are you good with a computer? Do freelancer work. Plenty of website for it. I know sites that people will pay for Essays, artistic designs, Photoshop, etc etc.

Trust me wait until your're old enough. Once you start working you will not like it so don't rush it.

Online buissnes such as blogging, web design, advertising/marketing, stock exchange. The options are endless, you don't just have to work in a store to earn money, most of the time people find it better and easier to make money online in a legit way.
