What is a fairly decent first job?

[muckytears]

I'm saving up for my first drum kit and i want a job to help me along. I'm only 15 though and I know quite a few places wouldn't give me a job.
How many options are actually available for someone my age ?

[mangle]

Paper round?

[Minstrels]

Nothing decent at 15.

[Pazza]

You can wash in a hotel I think ?

[Immenseman]

No first jobs are great, I looked at 15 but never really got anything got my first job at 16 stayed with it for 7 months and then got dismissed and haven't found anything since.

Supermarkets, local places.. butchers, newsagents, hairdressers, other places like that.

Small businesses are a great first job as you get direct contact with the owner it makes the whole experience alot better.

[Girl$]

Krogers, Walmart.

I think you can have small jobs. I've heard someone say if you ask at a hairdressers you can get a small job of just sweeping up hair/making tea.

[James!]

McDonalds if you're 16, although they'll pay you whatever they want and not what you want. Also, stacking shelves at supermarkets etc.

[Frodo13.]

Wait until your 16 then you can get at least something fairly decent like working in a shop or something.

[AlexOC]

just do some gardening in your local community Rob :)

Best option would be a paper round, or getting a job cleaning dishes in a pub/hotel.

Not much you can do at 15.

[flatface]

I would recommend a paper round, not alot of places will take you until your 16 :(

[Danzilla]

My first like mini job was a paper round when i was 14 i think. Then when i turned 15 i decided i wanted a sat job and i got a job in my local MOTest + garage. But iv always been into cars.

[leah]

Paper round?

[Casual]

lool wouldn't call that decent

atleast its a way to get money. you haven't ever had a job!

[IceNineKills]

McDonalds if you're 16, although they'll pay you whatever they want and not what you want.

Not true.


Also, many cafés hire people 14+, well they do around my area.

[Angel-Charlene]

Try papar rounds, gardening for neighbours like mowing the lawn or whatever, washing windows, washing cars ....

I was a pot wash at 15

rubbish job mind

[AJKHoosier1]

try to find a good job that'll suit you for the next 3 or 4 years. something long lasting will look nice on a future resume.

I was (and still am) packaging glassware since I was 15. I was lucky to find the job (pays $17.75 CAD / hr), but if you look around, you can find something like this.

btw, after 3 yrs there, I am up to $21.00 CAD / hr.
