Question: Can a 13 year old work in a fast food restaurants, or is it only 14 year olds?
Answer:Federal law sets 14 as the youngest age you would be able to work in a fast food restaurant, or most other jobs. Different companies may have different policies on how young they will hire people.
no 13 year old kid wants to babysit, mow lawn, or do chores and if you do you wont recieve as much money as you could and should i really dont like askin mi mom for anything really. Some kids are serious about working and i know that the law think kids play to much but when you really think about it some adults do to. and if they just gave us a chance i think we would show them that we can probably do alot more work than adults

I personally think that all of these younger teens can just start a dog sitting job and start from there. That is how i managed to pay for my first car payment. Then when you think that you can handle that, aply for a bigger job!

Personally, I think the law is fine. It is one year-everyone else had to wait, and it didn't kill them! From what I've read, all of the people who have posted saying 13 year-olds should be able to work misspelled so many words it isn't even funny. If you can't be bothered to actually spell correctly, then you surely aren't mature enough to get a job.
