Question: How old do I have to be and where can I get a work permit?
Answer: The Industrial Commission may, by regulation, declare ay occupation to be dangerous, or injurious to the health and morals of persons under sixteen years of age and prohibit the employment or allowance to work in, about or in connection with the occupations by such persons unless a variance is granted. There are many restrictions for minors under 18 years of age The best course of action is to contact the Director of Labor at the Industrial Commission in your state. For Arizona the Industrial Commission numbers are 602-542-4653 or 602-542-4515. Explain your situation and what type of work you are seeking. Your potential employers and perhaps you also, will probably need to fill out some paperwork (application for variation) depending on the type of job, the number of hours, and environment that the job is located in.

Dear Reader Of This Letter,
Like all the other under aged teens, I would very much enjoy the opportunity of a job. The only problem is, the majority of teens really don't NEED a job. Most of them live at home and, other than for luxury shopping, don't need money. However, on occasion, you get a young teen who will be on his/her own soon enough. I am 14, turning 15 in March, and I will be graduating from high school next year. In other words, I'll be setting out on my own a couple years before most teens. When I am on my own, I know money will be needed. Quite reasonably, I wish to be
