How Old Does Some Have To Be To Have A Paid Job?

[cassa333]

I have a friend who's 13yr old daughter wants a job but I heard some saturday jobs you have to be 16.

Other than a paper round I thought sweeper upper in a hair dressers or table clearer in a cafe.

Any ideas on suitable jobs?

Thanks

According to my daughter's school, where they did work experience at that age, there is actually very little they are not allowed to do. They are not allowed to work in medical or care situations, selling cigarettes and alcohol or on building sites. Pet shops, garden centres, filing in offices, hairdressers, preschool helper, school helper- those are some my daughter and her friends did.
