I'm looking for a job at 14...?

ok, so here's the deal.


I'm fourteen and I'm looking for an available job in my local area, the thing is; i'm not interested in the basic McDonalds;





Are there any other fast food places to work or clean at fourteen such as subway?

Work rules really limit your hours and what you can do. Most places won't hire at 14 because your hours are too limited.





No worker under 18 may:





Operate a forklift at any time.


Operate many types of powered equipment like a circular saw, box crusher, meat slicer, or bakery machine.


Work in wrecking, demolition, excavation, or roofing.


Work in mining, logging, or a sawmill.


Work in meat-packing or slaughtering.


Work where there is exposure to radiation.


Work where explosives are manufactured or stored.


Recent changes in the law state that minors under 17 may not drive a motor vehicle; 17-year-olds may drive occasionally, if they meet certain requirements.


Also, no one 14- or 15-years-old may:





Bake or cook on the job (except at a serving counter).


Operate power-driven machinery (except certain types that pose little hazard such as those used in offices).


Work on a ladder or scaffold.


Work in warehouses.


Work in construction, building, or manufacturing.


Load or unload a truck, railroad car, or conveyor. Federal Child Labor Laws also have guidelines for the hours that a teenager may work.


For young workers between the ages of 14 and 15, work hours are as follows:


Not before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m. between Labor Day and June 1 and not after 9 p.m. between June 1 and Labor Day.
