WHAT IS THE LEGAL AGE TO GET A JOB IN THE UNITED KINGDOm??? |
What is the legal age limit to get a job in the UK, Im a 12 year old boy who wants a job so what is the legal age limit. AM I OLD ENOUGH?? You may well be able to find a job delivering newspapers, for example, and at the age of 14, you'll be legally old enough to babysit. However, most other part-time employment opportunities won't be available to you until you're 16, and you can't get a minimum wage until you've finished compulsory education. You have to be 16 to get a job that will pay you the minimum wage. You can get a part time job but you will get paid peanuts. Afraid not - you need to be 16 - but you should be perfectly employable in Scotland. at the moment you can work part time from age 13, but for full time work it's 16 yeah you could get a job as a paper boy! or maybe helping out at your local market (some stall holders are happy for the help) other than that you arent legaly employable until 14. you have to be 16 to get a proper job but i guess you can do jobs around the house or for other people like walk their dogs, a bit of gardening. I see all you fresh-faced kidlets, sitting there in your neat little rows, and you're all just pods. Pods, waiting for your instructions. Now, some of you are gonna get zapped right away and be 15-year-old prodigies, little midget Olympic gymnasts with their pictures on cereal boxes. Some of you will go on to college, and you'll find your rhythm there, then go chase down the titans of industry, or maybe straighten out our problems at the UN. But some of you, and this is the group that no one ever comes into Career Day and addresses, and it's criminal. Some of you are just gonna float along, eating spicy foods, humming black people's music into your 30s. Well into your 30s, languishing. This group of pods is gonna do a lot of languishing. And you're gonna take some heat for it. Sadly, you will. Europe's a little easier. They seem to understand a little better. So does South America. I went to Argentina one time, and everyone seemed to be sitting around. It was beautiful. But, that's okay. You stay loose. Stay liquid. Laugh a lot. But be ready. That's what Paprockis doing with his life's little pod. Staying nimble, till I get the call from the mother ship. My raison d'etat. Then I fight. Then you'll see Paprocki coming in here throwing seven different kinds of smoke! |
