Paid Jobs
Late Teens 16-18
At this age you have more options, since many positions require you to be at least 16. Opportunities open up once you have a driver's license and are allowed to drive without an adult (age requirements vary by state). Many employers might start you out at minimum wage; we all have to start somewhere! In the section Job Ages, Wages & Rules, some of the jobs you are not permitted to do by age are outlined. Make sure to check your state regulations too, not just the Federal ones. Below are a few jobs you might consider.
