How would an Under 16 year old get work?

thomas.oleary

I live in a small south east town, and im 15 years old. I will be 16 in December which is to late to get a summer job. I was just wondering how would i go about getting a job, just for the summer or the week-end's even tho im not 16?

Thought about delivering fliers for local businesses?
I got work in a pub when i was 15, but these are different days i'm afraid.

Best of luck though.

thomas.oleary

I have asked around only adults have actually got the jobs. I tryed all 43 pubs even the ones in the country but no where is wanting any one. Any other ideas?

Paper boy?
Any of your parents friends got businesses?
C if your local paper need people to fill in inserts?
Mowing lawns?
Farm hand?

thomas.oleary

They dont do the paper deliverey service but i will ask around.
I'll ask the local parer.
Im a 6"6 long haired crusty type person so im not sure if people would want me mowing there lawns.
I will try around the farms aswell.

Thanks for all your help it should keep me occupied for a while. Ill post back soon and let you no how im doing.

Thanks again.

Well, under 16's can work, just less hours. Seeing as ur in a small town usually these rules are not really enforced.

Poker!

Learn correctly and you could end up making a decent living out of it, nevermind just a summer job :rolleyes:

If you are 15 and 6'6 just lie to the pub about your age. They usually don't care. I was working in a pub when I was 14 that was 7 years ago. Not sure what its like now. But if you are in a small town they are unlikely to have staff inspections by government agencies.

I'd imagine you asked to be a lounge boy and not a bar man.

thomas.oleary

Most of the pubs have bars and thats it. And every one no's every1 else so i cant lie about my age. Thanks for all the ideas. I like the poker one.

I'm deadly serious when I say it too my brother and my friend both play for a living and I will probably too some day. Your own boss, your own hours, your own lunchbreaks, your own holidays. And it's FUN:) Click here for some info on how you can get started!

Dont you lose money also?

Also,surely you cant lie about your age,dont you have to sign insurance docs?

I really wanna suggest the Phoenix Park, but I'll be helpful and suggest local building/carpentry work? Hotels/holiday estates might need gardeners or work men?

Wooops! I completely forgot about the fact you have to be over 18:( sorry!!! you could always just travel the country playing in seedy underground games though! haha.

You do lose money of course, but if you play right and use odds and work by them, then if you work by the right odds, in the long run you will be paid back with them odds if you get me.

Tryed have to be 16. I think ill just find a farm and wait until im 16 but thats going to be a while. Dam. Unless some1 wants to send me money for doing absolutly nothing. That would be a good job.

My freind was supposed to ask his boss about a job for me but u realy find how un reliable they are. :mad:
