can kids get jobs, real jobs like in a store NOT babysitting or mowing the lawn!!! cause my daughter wants to work???.--Answer1:16 to work but you can get a work permit from school at 14have a happy new year.--Answer2:That depends on how old she is.I sacked groceries and stocked shelves in a grocery store when I was 14 and 15..--Answer3:i think the min age is 16 to work at some stores. if she wants to make a decent amount she could put adds up offering to clean houses. or she could be a bus girl clearing dishes at a restaraunt, then she will get tips too maybe,.--Answer4:i dont think so, unless you know the management, but a real job would be a no..i would suggest getting her a consistent job to do around the house..something as difficult as a real job that will discourage her from wanting to work and study more.
