Is there any kind of place that would hire 15 year olds?

You cannot get work if you are still at school. The only thing you can do is a paper round or help in a shop. You cannot work before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m. and your hours are limited, I'm not sure how many. Saturday boy or girl in a hairdressers would be permitted, or something like that. A very limited choice.

Depends how much you want/need to earn.

My son has 2 paper rounds, 7 days a week, and he earns £44.

Takes him about an hour a day...but he tends to be on 'go slow' mode as a default.

At least he is learning the right way Ummmm.
