I need to get some extra money . Yes I'm only 15 but I know how to do many things . I need extra money for braces because my family can't afford them. Does anyone know of a place hiring 15 year olds?. Thanks

This is a global website so we wouldn't know who is hiring in your area. Have you tried babysitting?

You're 15. Most places don't hire anyone under 16, except for McDonalds, at least in my area. You'd have to check the labor laws where you live, and find out the hiring age at the places you apply to.

If you get a job how would you get to it?

Babysitting is a great way to earn extra money. You could also offer your services as a dog walker, shovel driveways, mow lawns, get a paper route. Those are all options for a child your age.

Where I live perhaps 1/4 of the young people don't go to high school and start work at 14 or 15, They carry bricks, shovel dirt, clean toilets, work as house keepers, or do farm work.

First of all, you don't have to get braces when you're a teen. You can wait until you are out of school and have money from a job plus have health insurance, and thus pay the dentist that way. Your teeth will move just fine even as an adult.

Or, you can call around to find a dentist who will help you on a barter system or with delayed payments or with small monthly payments. Public aid might even be a possibility for getting braces, perhaps through a dental clinic for the poor and jobless. Be sure your parents are in on this.
