Are there any jobs a 13 year old boy in the USA, VA, could get?!


Question: Are there any jobs a 13 year old boy in the USA, VA, could get?
I've been really hungry for the past few months, so I finally decided to maybe get a job and buy food. So what jobs could I get as a 13 year old and where could I find such?

Answers:

My son used to mow lawns, and had a paper-route! I see teenagers walking people's dogs down our streets, too! I used to baby-sit at that age. Good luck!



First of all, when you're at such a young age, it is the parent's primary responsibility to take care of you, including buying food. If this is not the case, you should probably look into calling Social Services and being put into foster care, or ask you parents to provide for food stamps if they are financially unable to provide.

Second. No, you are very unlikely to get a job in VA until you are 18 years old, unless you go to work with someone that you know that has their own business and has something small that they are willing to pay you for.

17 and trying to get a job in VA



You can shovel snow, mow lawns in summer, weed, mulch, clean out garages, walk dogs, if you have elderly neighbors ask if you can do anything to help. They may need someone to take out their garbage & bring the cans back in. You could play with neighbor kids while the moms clean.



Some privately owned small stores and shops will hire you at that age. I had my first job at 12. I worked in a country grocery/gas store. At 14 I worked on a bread delivery truck, 16 a large grocery store.



you could be a paper boy......( not in my neighborhood)
or mow peoples lawns
or shovel snow
or rake leaves
or sell stuff at school .......(like pens and candy)
