I am 14 years old and pretty big and mature for my size . I was looking to work any where accept in the fields . I don't mind getting paid under the table as long as its stable and 5 hours and over . Wage doesn't matter as long as I'm getting paid

At 14... no place of business unless your parents own their own business. Child labor laws limit the hours and types of work a child can do and a poor economy means there are plenty more mature people that don't have those restrictions looking for jobs so there is little want or need for someone to hire a kid under 16.

They also can't hire someone at just any price. There are minimum wage laws. And they want someone who is at least worth those wages. Not everyone legal age is surprisingly enough.

Soon enough you will be old enough yo will have a chance.

Until then you can do yard or gardening work for neighbors....like mowing grass, or weeding. Washing their car, etc.

A few small restaurants may hire you to wait tables or clean dishes. But the pay will be lower than min wage and the conditions poor

Farm work is a option for younger people.

As is doing odd jobs for people.
