Can I get a job?
4 Answers
I'm 14. What jobs can I get?
Also, I've asked at a few local caf�s and I look a lot older than I am but just to check, they asked me if I was 16. I said no to two of them (obviously because I'm not) but the other shop didn't ask, and said they have an opening. Would it still be okay to work there if they thought I was 16? How much trouble would I get into if they found out?

Theoretically you could be charged with 'fraud by false representation' (which is a serious criminal offence). In practice though, it would be the employer who got into trouble, and not you.
At 14 years old you can't work without a permit issued by your local education authority. It's the employer's responsibility to ensure that such a permit is issued.
For the rules regarding the employment of teenagers, prior to their school-leaving date, see here:

Jobs for teenagers are rarely advertised. The usual places to seek them out are newsagents, hairdressers, caf�s, independent 'corner shops' and market stalls.
Some young people make money through self-employment (e.g. by offering a car washing service to local residents).
