Why don't people hire 15 year olds?

[Hosakawa Tito]

The job market's tough for everyone right now. My 16 year old step-son has had job applications in every business within a 6 mile area, bike riding distance, of our home. He managed to land a part time job pumping gas at a Seneca Nation Indian gas station last week. Keep trying, don't give up. Offering to do yard work/clean up/painting jobs during this hot summer could be lucrative for you. Depends on how bad you want a little financial independence I guess. Part of the problem is that since you are 15, you'll be going back to school by Labor Day, 6 weeks or so from now. Being a student means your hours available to work will be restricted by State Law. Try places that desire part time workers, fast food joints, pizza/subshops, grocery stores, Dollar General, Walmart, etc...

Nobody will employ me and I'm 20. I applied to everywhere in my hometown and the surrounding towns this summer, and got a few interviews, but still got nothing.

It will probably look bad that I won't have had a job when I finish University next year, but there's not much I can do.

the reason, Hooah, that I refuse to do yardwork is that I wasted an entire summer of my time mowing lawns, and I...will not do it. just won't. would i f i had a ride-on mower maybe, but i have some crappy 10 year old push one that takes forever to mow anything. worst summer EVER.


and now you guys are making me feel bad that I think injustice is being done to me. wheres the over sympathy? I WANT SYMPATHY DAMNIT!!!!
