What Age can you Start Working?
You can “work” at any age. When you clean your room or take out the garbage, you are technically working, although you are not getting paid. When talking about working to get paid, that’s a different story, but even that is vague.
Getting a job as a teen usually requires working papers if you are under 18 years of age, sometimes 16 years of age. In this case, most are usually only able to start working at 12 to 14, but that varies by state, place of work, etc.
Besides that, even young kids can start working to make money because not all work requires having a job. You could simply start your own business doing work for other people. Weed gardens, clean houses, mow lawns, sell snacks, etc. If you can do it and you put your mind to it, you can start working and making money at that age.
