As per law, anyone under eighteen years of age is considered a minor and the legal age for employment is 14. Minors under 14 years of age are not allowed to work except in domestic service and a few jobs like newspaper delivery. Minors who have completed high school do not require a employment certificate, all other minors who work have to get a work permit from the school they attend. This work permit has to be signed by parents also. Employers of minors are subject to restrictions on the number of hours and time of the day when they can work, so it difficult to find suitable jobs for teenagers. A better option is to work on your computer/internet from home. Most of the jobs listed can also be done as summer jobs or part time jobs to earn some extra money. In some cases, like survey panels for teenagers, you will have to register and will be sent surveys as they become available.
