Where can a 14-year-old get a job in Chicago?

Answer 1

(Edit, sorry, the last answer was from a stereotype illiterate, take it from an ACTUAL 14 year old who lives in Detroit)

There isn't that much job opportunities out there, it's a struggle, YES I KNOW! Try mowing lawns, join Soup Kitchens, and or babysit! They all earn money! Or even try Family Dollar or Dollar Tree, they MAY accept you.

Answer 2

Well, besides for odd jobs in the neighborhood and for your parents and family and friends you must see what the legal age to work in your state is if you want to get paid on the books.

Become paper delivererIf you have any local newspapers try getting a paper route with them.

Edit: the legal age in Chicago is 14 yrs min. Ages 14 and 15: During the school year, hours are limited to 3 hours a day and 18 hours a week. On days when there's no school and in the summer, working hours increase to 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week. There are limits on when you can work, too - no later than 7 p.m. during the school year and no later than 9 p.m.
