Can i be 10 and have a summer job ?

That can depend on your state, and the minimum age for being able to file for working papers.

I really think that twelve is the youngest you can be, and special conditions like the hours which you are permitted to work, and what time of year those hours are in. Usually summer only.

You will have to check with the department of labor for your state.

As long as it is some work like weeding gardens for the nearby neighbor,feeding their animals ,like horses for example,or being handy with whatever they need and you could do.I think that would be fine.Why are you not in my neighbourhood?!

Well, I guess we could learn her about "off the books" chores a bit early...

Are you going to tell me that each cent you earn as a child is reported to the IRS? Very funny.My son is 10 and he does chores for an elderly couple that makes him very responsible.He earns a few dollars and its far more important than the money I spend on him,because HE earned it.You never heard of such things?

UHHHHH, there was a reason it was in quotations.

I have been working since I was a child as well, as my father is a carpenter and I was sweeping floors and cleaning up around job sites at ten.

At ten, you are not obligated to pay taxes in any amount.

This young lady is inquiring about a bonafide, check stub job, and if she is permitted to have one.

Maybe now you understand the quotes?

You did not quiet explain what you meant so sorry,I see now whats what.I thought you were mocking me.

Nope, usually not my style. Sorry if I was cryptic.

You could ask your neighbor if you could walk their do for $1.50 a dat and after 2 days you would have 3.00 dollars
