Being a 15 year old myself, I have done a fair deal of research about jobs for teenagers our age in Indiana. Due to insurance, people don't want to hire us for sake of an on the job accident. I've looked at three different McDonald's in my area, and all three of them shot me down. They said that by the time they took out all of the things I couldn't do (front line, cooking food, freezer, grease related cooking), there where only two to three things I could do. Even though I was anxious with this answer, they still shot me down upon request (?). Things you could do:

  • Rake leaves
  • Plow snow (considering that time of year is very near)
  • Babysit
  • Household chores
  • Anything cleaning-wise you neighbors will allow you to do.

Keep these ideas in mind. I know, you've heard these ideas millions of times, but their all we have until we turn 16, my friend.

Yes, but you need a work permit.

Here is some more info from Indiana's department of labor:

Do all teenagers need a work permit? All teens 14, 15, 16 and 17 years of age must get a work permit before they begin a job. Exceptions include: newspaper carriers, Golf caddies, domestic service workers, entertainers, and farm laborers.

How do I get a work permit? You must get an Intention to Employ/A-1 Form from the issuing officer at the school you attend. Your must then get the signature of your employer and your parent or guardian. Once you have the signatures, take the Intention to Employ/A-1 form, along with proof of age, to the issuing officer and the work permit will be issued. Take it to your employer before you begin work. For additional information on work permits, check the Teens & Parents page.

How late can teens work? The school day hours differ from the non-school day hours for the teen worker. Sixteen and 17 year olds can work extended hours with written parental permission. Check out Teen Worker Hour Restrictions for specific hours.

How many hours a week can teens work? The number of hours teens may work differs based on age, time of year, and parental permission. Check out the Teen Worker Hour Restrictions tables for specific hours.

What kind of jobs are minors prohibited from doing? Federal and State law forbids the employment in occupations deemed hazardous. Check out the listing of prohibited occupations.

How much time are teens allowed for breaks and time off for lunch? Indiana employers must provide one or two breaks totaling 30 minutes to teens under the age of 18 who are scheduled to work six or more consecutive hours. Exempted from this requirement are: farm laborers, domestic service workers, golf caddies, newspaper carriers, teens that have completed an approved vocational or special education program, and teens that have withdrawn from school.

I can't find my birth certificate and I don't have a Social Security number. What do I do? If you don't have your birth certificate, you can get a copy by contacting the Health Department in the county in which you were born. There may be a small fee. To obtain a Social Security number call 1-800-772-1213.

I would like to work two part-time jobs. Am I allowed to do this? No. You can only hold one work permit at a time and each work permit is issued for a specific employer. If you quit that job, a new work permit may be issued for another job.

I am 16 years old and have put my application in at a place where I will be driving my car to make deliveries for the employer. Someone told me that even though I'm 16, I can't drive on the job. Is this true? Yes. Sixteen year olds are not permitted to drive a vehicle for the employer, even though they have a driver's license. This is one of the prohibited occupations established by Federal and State Laws.

Can the school deny giving me a work permit? Yes. If a student's grades and/or attendance does not meet the policies set by the school, they have the right to deny a work permit. We suggest you read the school handbook or check with the issuing officer for your school's policy.

Because I work late, I don't always get to school on time. The school took my work permit away from me. Can they do this? Yes. A work permit may be revoked if your attendance or grades drop while you are working. This policy is set by each school. Read the school handbook or check with the issuing officer to see what the policy is at your school.

If my work permit is revoked by my school, is there anything I can do about it? Yes, you do have the right to appeal this decision. Appeals should be made to your school principal. He/she would have the final decision.

Most places of work require their employees to be at least 14 or 16 years of age depending on the work.

You should call around stores, etc. to see their minimum age. Remember to be very attentive and ask questions. It makes you look good!
