Owl :
14 with a permit, 16 with some limits (can't use/clean certain equipment, can't interfere with school). whether it's necessary or for teaching responsibility depends on the parents' income

idontfuckingknowman :
it depends. most jobs won't hire until 16 because they want someone who can drive to work. when I was a kid sometimes my money has to go to rent, others it was saving up for college/ fun money

Spacewarp’s Conjunx Endura :
I was 13 when I started working, it was at a big waterpark at a resort. It wasn’t the best thing in the world, but I had to save money for college. (I ended up in debt and dropping out still.)

Skully Draws💀🖍️ :
both honestly, for some kids it's a way to earn pocket money and have some financial freedom, for others it's a way to avoid starvation

someone✪ :
It depends on the state anywhere 14-16 . from what I've seen it's usually more survival because it's so much time to do school and work. unless it's a job like mowing lawns that is less a job more a side hustle

Charlie 🧬 :
nearly every job I've ever been at doesn't hire below 16 because the labor laws are too annoying lol, and I worked to pay for my car and the random unnecessary things I wanted starting at 16

Riskamoon :
give it a bit. they're working on reducing the child labor laws in multiple states now. mine its 14, but most wait til 15 and a half- 16, when they can legally drive.

In my state you can get a work permit at 14. It varies the reason why some it’s for ethics some for survival some just for pocket money.

PlantingWildflowers :
14 in my area but only if it doesn’t affect school. It’s a combo of saving for college, fun money, and saving to move out.

12 here if you work on a farm. I started working at 12ish.

I started working unofficially at a family business when I was 13. I worked to help pay bills at 15. Some teens here can work for pocket money, but lower income families often don't have that luxury.

legally 14 and a half for Missouri, however that's for normal jobs. For under the table cash jobs it's any age that can get it done

My kiddo started at 16 to earn money for luxuries. Now she lives at home and pays her part of a shared bill (phone) while she builds a nest egg to get her own place.

Eli Aura Moon :
16-17 is the allowed age. some take odd jobs like mowing grass to make some extra money for fun stuff at younger ages though
2025-04-23 18:20:17

🐌am :
I know the laws say 14-16 but if you’re poor you start hustling way younger. My mom started at 12 and I started at 13.

Ash :
1/3 my students have jobs to help out with home. 1/3 so they can hear their own spending fun money. other 1/3 trying to save up for college or car.

SOUR!! :
It’s pretty much necessity. Jobs after college won’t take kids with no experience and most of us aren’t given money to hang out/live life. It becomes about saving for when we wont have our parents

Caathrok :
legally they can start at 14 anywhere with limited hours, though there is a loophole for working in your family's business at younger ages. it used to be so they could save for a starter car etc

🖤🌹Zoey🌹🖤 :
Yes we often do work in high school but it’s kinda up to you the reason until you’re 18 I just worked for pocket money when I was 16-17

Ash :
If I wanted anything of my own I had to pay for it, this includes before I was old enough to get a job so it’s a way of a being able to slowly become financially independent

andthenwhathappened :
I got a job at 16 because my parents wouldn’t buy me a new car unless I could pay for gas and insurance myself. I didn’t know any kid that had to work

amane is inno •° Γ Aesop ⅃ :
the age you're allowed to work legally depends on the state, in my state you can work with a permit at 15 and without one at 16, but a lot of people do under the counter stuff before that

Sharklyn 🦈🌎 :
Started doing babysitting/odd jobs at 10-14, hired at a grocery store working 20hrs at 15, then started working 38hrs a week from 16-18. Went on to 60hr weeks for a while after graduation

14 is the legal age to work most jobs. but kids younger than that can get paid by independent people such as parents, farm owners, or family friends

user976498 :
Just because a 15 year old has a household bill doesn’t mean they are struggling. Plenty of parents make them pay a bill as a way to save money for them. Move out. Get it back.

Jay :
14 in most places with parental consent. Most kids do it to earn a little extra money but some kids do actually need to help their families financially. Also this way they gain work experience

it's customary to get a first job in highschool as a responsibility thing it's survival to get a first job for most of the ones doing it though. we are DEEPLY impoverished despite our GDP

ks_rach :
It depends entirely on the kid. One didn’t do activities and wanted a job. One is super busy with activities and spends his time working towards a scholarship (technically earning $ that way).

Winston :
Growing up, you could start working at 14 but needed parent and school permission. You could only work like a max of 24 hours per week but also they didn’t have to pay minimum wage.

xglossx :
depends on state and what type of job in my state kids as young as 10 "work" mostly land/farm jobs where they get cash but if you want that federal check gotta be 15

I started babysitting at 11 just because I liked it, had my first official job at 15, teaching at a daycare, just for pocket money and to keep busy after school since I had no extracurriculars

most states allow you to start at 14 with permission from your school it’s typical to have a first job at 16 though

I started work after school at 14. It was supposed to be for extra money but at 15 I was thrown out of the house and it became my food and bus money.

depending on the job, kids can start as young as 11 (mowing lawns, lemonade stand) but for general jobs about 15 or 16 as long as they have good grades
