I am 15 years old and there are several supermarkets with butchers, and a large Meat Locker in a nearby town. Hope that helps.
You might (might) be able to start working at 15 if you have a work permit. But I'm pretty sure you won't be able to do any cutting until you're 18. But if you can swing a job cleaning and sweeping and mopping, you can listen and watch to what the butchers are doing and pick up on it. Even at 18 depending on where you live, they may say you have to be a journeyman and send you to different stores to gain experience. It's like an apprenticeship.
Good luck, my cousin did it when he was 19 and now he's an assistant butcher at a supermarket. |
