Best way is to ask the companies :)

i am going to tommorow just checking tosave me wasting time :P

You might find that some companies may not employ you as you are only 15. Also I believe you may get reduced pay what with being under-age.

[BowTies1]

yeh but is a limit of how much they can go under minium wage and can i work the same shift as peopl over 16 like a 9 hour shift

[&]

you cant work same hours as people over 16 no.
have you really thought about this?

[BowTies1]

yes ive thought about it all i want to do is work a saturday every week what is there to think about

[&]

there's a lot you need to think about really.
especially when it comes to GCSEs and that, most places wont hire you because of that.
Will it get in the way of your social life?
What about coursework etc..

well research it..
there's loads of sites explaining what you can/cant do at your age, you can work etc..

go to connexions
or good ol' Google
