I need a job

drummer 666

its gay, right I'm 14 and there's stuff that I want and like I'm a drummer, and I need some new ****, but I don't have the money, I want to go out with my girl friend and show her a good time, but I'm always broke, its just gay...any suggestions or any help?

dregin

Eh, is there not a law where you can't actually work until you're 15, unless it's for a family run business? And anyway. Damn girlfriends! You're too young to be gettin married just yet

Waltons

Yeah, it's really gay. REALLY gay. Probably not gonna have much luck since you're 14 though

Naos

roysh, this is how it ish. As above, you must work in a family business, LEGALLY. Alternatively, like, you can forge your birth cert. Scan and change it. Go to some leisure plex job, they are easy.. like. hopefully you can then buy ur drum kit. right.

drummer 666

yeah I s'pose, I did work for a shop across the road from me but they had to get rid of me cause some chap cut a girls face open with the lid of a bin, so with solicitors and what not around, a 13 year old kid working there wouldn't exactly be help to them

Don't bother working, it's gay!

It's a week, not even full timers work 8 hours a day...

Only Human

Get a job at Tescos or Londis or something. The pay is crap (what else would you be expecting at 14) but they turn a blind eye to age or so I've been told.

Try getting a job as a kitchen porter in a hotel or something. Nice behind the scenes work, bit of a no-brainer too and, most important, you don't have to deal with customers. Money might be pants though

yeah there royal quires when it comes to video shops, thats were I worked, its great, but I was ilegally hired..heehee

Ciaran500

Surely you would have to be at least 18 to work in a video shop as you would handling goods deemed for over 18 only.

yeah you do, hence the term "illegal" comes in, I wasn't selling anything or renting vids and what not, they did that part of it, I had to clean up and sort stuff in the "vault" as its called

I've no idea about the laws relating to employment but maybe the fact that lots of them have off-licences in them? Either that or something like they got insurance that won't cover under-18s working there... Just do what I do when I want money - gamble! Cheltenham bought me a guitar and amp among other things

Holy Moses - are you from Donaghmede?

Get a job in Dunnes, they pay ridiculously well for shelf stacking. I think the hours are very flexible too.

yeah I probably will, ya see me and my best mate are both musicians, and we'r looking to buy equipment ourselfs, and turn my shed into our own lil recording studio, so we both need jobs

Jaeger

Get a job as a bottle boy in some pub or something.

Again, the pay might be crap, but you don't have any bills or anything to pay, and it'll be a LOT more than what you're getting at the moment

I wouldnt call minimum wage ridiculously well!?!

and on the issue of some places not letting you work there if your under 18, i know it sucks but its for good reason, you cant serve someone cigarettes or alcohol unless your over 18, you cant work in a betting shop or any other form of gambling establishment because you have to be over 18 to go in those places.
you cant work past 8 o clock in the evening IIRC, and your not subject to the minimum wage standards, so odds are you wont get paid much.

my first job was when i was 14, i just rang around a couple of local petrol stations, just to "chance my arm" and see what i got, ended up working in a maxol up the road from my house for 4 years after that, started off at £4 per hour, which at the time i thought was great, i guess i did well, it was a handy place to work. i started off working on the forecourt (getting peoples petrol, sweeping, changing bins etc...) which is about all you can expect when your that age. other than that id say a small local shop, AFAIK most of the big chains and such have an age limit of 16, and others its 18.

I can't believe someone would actually type the word "like" into their posts.

StupidLikeAFox

stuff he wants and likes......? Not the D4 ''loike' i dont think

And this thread is wierd coz ive had a job in a pub since i was 12/13 and lots of friends have worked since they were 14 or 15 at least. Theres plenty of work if you wanna find it as far as i can see

There's no lower legal age limit in the "oldest trade". Get yourself dolled up and go and stand on the local street corner and wait for the beemers and mercs to pull up. The work sucks (sucks. geddit!?) but the pay's good and the only thing stopping you from making a career out of it is a nasty STD.




BTW the legal reason under 18s can't work in newsagents/shops anyomre is the 18 limit for cigarettes and tobacco

wait tables or something, alright pay, but hours can be a b!tch!

Exactly. In a few years it will be your job that is "gay".

Go down to Mc D's in Donagmede and tell the manager that you're gay and you'll get a job no problem. I think their policey is " the younger the better".

They pay around €12 for certain night hours. Not that that's a help to the OP, but still it is an excellent wage for what is the most basic of jobs.
They pay €7 an hour normal hours.
