Okay so I'm 14.
I'm looking for a job, and I've already scouted out some proper places to apply to.
I was wondering what are the Hours I am allowwed to work?
I heard it was 2 on a school night, and 4 on a weeknight.
And how many days would I be able to work in a week?
What's the maximum?
And what is minimum wage in this area?
And I'm also looking for more option, so if you know any places a 14 year old with good work ethic could apply to.
I'm looking for a decent job in the Michigan City Area. Attached is all the info for children in Indiana...
