Oh my God, people are SO going to start suggesting random crap here in a few minutes D:

Spoiler (click to show)

inb4 [E] suggesting prostitution or something like that

All the people I know of your age started to work on restaurants, maybe that would be a good idea but I don't know how's your place like.

[Shamrock]

Yeah are you in the states, because there is a 9% unemployment rate that doesn't include snot nosed 15 year olds. the jobs that would hire you are filled by a 30 something dude with life experience and mouths to feed.

In short, you are fucked.

Mechanical turk is your best bet.

[Do not even ask]

Job agencies. If you can find one that will help you, you're almost guaranteed to find a job.

Otherwise, when you bring your resume to wherever you want to do part-time work, ask for the manager instead of simply dropping off your resume. Ask the manager if what they're looking for, if there's any available job positions, etc.

If you have ANY volunteer work, be sure to put it on your resume.

[Mog]

Where do you live? Are you in school? WHy are they making you get a job?

Out here mcdonalds hires at 14 yrs old.

Work in fast food, it's easy money and a suitable start for someone your age.

[aznperson569M]

Fast food usually is the option for teenagers (I should know, since I did this )

Another option I tried is Casinos, like Regal Entertainment. Otherwise, if you can't find a job, then maybe.. I dunno, Newspapers/Sign twirling? I did Red Cross volunteer work during this summer cause I couldnt find a job 

[Foobs]

Casinos hire teenagers? I thought they didn't even let them in.

[Orochi Gill]

If I can get a cashier job, anyone can.

Though oddly the place I work at only has one confirmed minor

[Speedpreacher]

Fast food is the way to go, retail is probably going to be mind numbing for you. Upgrade to pizza delivery your senior year. And start getting your mind to the place where you're ready to take those plugs out, because they're not gonna help your interview chances when you're older.

Welcome to the grind!

Where do you live? Are you in school? WHy are they making you get a job?

I live in Charlotte NC, I AM in school. annd they told me i need to do something with my life. hah.
I'm considering fast food i tried mcdonalds and guys cant wear earrings there and i have gauges so at first i was like no. But now I really just need the cash haha.

[GLB]

I currently work at a mcdonalds in Wisconsin.

They're not too strict on piercings here, they're a lot more strict on being clean shaven if anything.

[xcheatdeath]

Woow. I went up there about a month ago, and they told me guys can't have piercings so i said i dont want to work there.

[GLB]

Not to offend you when I say this or anything, but that's the very reason why I always thought piercings like that were stupid.

[xcheatdeath]

You aren't the only one who's told me that so I'm not offended. BUT I'm willing to take them out while at work if that's what it takes.

[Shamrock]

Something here is not making sense. 15 but with piercing, yet your parents are forcing you to get a job? Parents that are liberal enough to sign for you to get giant piercings should be liberal enough to understand the importance of concentrating on studies so you can do well at college.

Something doesn't add up here or my human nature meter is broken.

[xcheatdeath]

They dont sign for gauges.
You do them yourself. 
And they want me to get a job because I do online schooling. I technically have school for like 4 hours everyday then im just sitting here for the other 20 hours.

[Shamrock]

Check this out then... Don't get a job.... Look into taking college courses at the community college. One class most likely would cost $400 or so. I don't know how grants and loans work if you are underage, but doing this, you satisfy your parents need for you to do something, and you can get at least 18 credits minimum before actually going to college, more if you do summer at college or take more than 3 credits.

You don't have to pick a degree either, just take the general studies requirements. Sometimes the classes can count as your high school classes too, so you can get out of high school English by taking college English.

[xcheatdeath]

I'm already taking college classes. I still need a job because Im just kinda sitting around the house all day because online school is work-at-your-own-pace so i can complete a weeks worth of work in one day if i wanted to. I'm 15 and I'll technically be ready for college before im 16 1/2
and also, They just said they dont want me just sitting here all day and I could be out working.

[Shamrock]

Then take more college classes. If you only do school for 4 hours a day, then add more course load on the college end. I mean a half college load would take up at least 12 hours a week without homework. that brings you to 16... Add another course and you would be at 22 hours which is two hours above what the child labor laws will allow someone who is your age to work.
