If you're 16 to 17
The lowest wage for 16~17-year-old teenagers should be no less than seven dollars per hour. You can't work in a pub or bar, but you can work in many other places. By law, you can't work more than 40 hours each week.
What jobs are out there?

At Christmas, most shops are short of hands, so you may find something to do there. In autumn, there's always fruit picking. It can be pretty hard work, but it pays really well.
