Why don't people hire 15 year olds?

You live on a base like me right? Our base and as a result our surrounding town are all largely unaffected, yours should be much the same. Apply for jobs ON base. I've got a friend at the exchange, the ligfeguarding tons of em, at the commisary, etc. You should be able to pick up a job as long as you move quickly enough.

Oh, I forgot to start a thread; we moved. In Virginie now bizniches!

gotta say, the traffic here sucks. the house and neighborhood are better, and I love being able to go to one central place to get everything, rather than run around the whole town (Uber-malls FTW!!!), but to get anywhere basically you have to take I-95, and my mom frequently misses our exits >:(


funny enough though, i had a friend at the Lejuene exchange who said it paid well and had flexible hours. the people said I had to be 16 though...

Because they are 15... Also, mow lawns...

Up here, the kids shovel sidewalks. Summers don't last long enough for the grass to grow.

FWIW, when I was 15 the only job that under-16-year-olds could get outside of having a family member of friend of the family employ them, was bagging groceries. And I do mean only. Until you hit 16, you're a bit out of luck, and as others have mentioned the economy sucks big time right now. Good on you that you want to work though, I've been constantly employed (outside of school) since I was 16. Having a job teaches you a lot of really good life skills.
