I worked for Little Caesars Pizza at 15

I worked at Kenny Rogers roasters when I was 14. Since you dont have to be picky, just tell him to ask around everywhere, and something will bite.

Nothing like learning the true evils of customer service to motivate someone to get a better job

QFTMFT. I worked at a grocery store from 14-16.5 and it sucked huge ass.

Movie Theater?

I got a job there at 15...

Worked at party fair when i was 17.. some other kids were 15.

Nice owner, paid 7 an hour, flexible hours and basically all we did was use a pricing gun. Seems like a good first job to find out what working is like.

I was bagging groceries at a local grocery store at 14 with a work permit. Try some local stores that have baggers.

Asparagus picking

Definately have him work a service job.

If he deals with asshole customers, he'll learn to not be an asshole the next time it's taking a little longer at the restaurant/pharmacy/etc.

I dunno, maybe this is me being a rich elitist prick, but do we really even need 15 year olds working to begin with? They should be working hard enough in school and on homework. Maybe a summer job, but during the school year I'm not so sure its a great idea, the parents should be making enough money to pay for everything a kid needs, I understand having them learn "real life" skills along with what they learn in school, but I dunno 15 is sorta young. Personally I did some volunteer work in high school, but didn't have a paying job until after freshmen year of college and even that you really ain't making tons of money, alot of people I know spent every summer in college doing nothing or "resume building" at non-paid internships and stuff and still ended up getting great jobs out of college.

Paperboy? They dont care who delivers it as long as it gets delivered :evil: Just put down your name and have him do it

My job at that age was hoeing cotton in a field for 10+ hours a day for $3.25/hr

And I'm not even old, dammit! :|

Hopefully he'll get a job where he has to interact with many people on a continual basis.

I'm 17 and having trouble finding a job anywhere but fast food. =/ Apparently the retail market is really stagnant right now, so I'mma be a McFryGuy.

The sackers at the grocery stores around here are all 14-16. Sure beats fast food, plus he gets some exercise and gets to practice social skills with a wide variety of adults.

I second that. He might eventually want to move up to cashier once he gets a little older, but bagging is a good job.

Let him be a dishwasher or a grocery store bagger, etc.

My girlfriend in high school started sacking at 15 and became a cashier in about a year.

I started doing data entry stuff when I was 14. $7.50/hr back then was sweet. What's also good about it is I could listen to my walkman too. Walkman!!!!

Look in the local paper circular that has jobs for this type of stuff. Many years of those types of jobs then I also did a clerical job that led to full time database work right after college.

I'm a camp counselor for a summer job, but that's not during the regular year. As stated before, being a grocery bagger is good since you can get minimum wage (and that's a lot for a minor like me )

Data entry is so boring. Plus, your wrists can start hurting.
