Im 17 and i need a job?


hey im 17 years old and i dont go to highschool anymore i dropped out we can say and i need a job badly can anyone help me

In retail, you can be 16+ to work at the register and 18+ to work in other specialty departments (such as the meat room or bakery). If you're going to be 18 soon, I would suggest working at a place like a grocery store, or wholesale store, where once you turn 18, you can transfer to a different department and get a pay increase. The meat cutters where I work make $15+ an hour, where cashiers only get $9.

The two answers above are very wise. Also, try to get a GED (diploma) . Good luck.

There are sites like SnagAJob that list low level jobs. In addition to what's been suggested, there are also phone sales jobs. These aren't pleasant but can pay well. You will suffer long term if you don't get that GED, so do think hard about getting it.

go find a contractor lookign for laborers, then go back to school,

go back to school.
Gas station, Walmart, look in the newspaper, look on line there are jobs out there, but it may be hard without a high school diploma

mcdonalds
burger king
any fast food that you don't need to be 18
kmart
or retailers that you need to be 16+
I know alot of places changin their hire age to 18 but some still will hire you @ 16.

or you can try www.snagajob.com
or
www.careerbuilder.com

good luck

look for a job that you will be able to climb the ladder at
try working for a bank or a phone company
