Are there Any Jobs that 13 year olds could work in the DC area?

I need a job job! Not no stupid babysitting, or paper routes. I mean who really wants to do that? I need something reasonable.
All of these things are really stupid; babysitting, paper routes, house work. I mean, maybe if you’re desperate, but not to work on weekends, or after school.
Well, any answers and comments are welcome, but I wouldn’t consider the jobs above.

at 13 you can work:
as a caddy at a public course
as a referee/umpire in a municipal league
delivering newspapers/periodicals
on a private farm picking or selling fruits and/or vegetables
OR
a business owned or operated by your parents
as an actor/tress in radio, tv, theater or movies and
you can do casual labor (working in a home) such as tutoring, yard-work, housecleaning, running errands, pet-sitting, babysitting, etcetera

if you do not like those choices then you will just have to wait until you are older. with the attitude you show you are going to find it hard to get any job until you grow up…………………

in the US under FLSA a minor 14 or older may work in an:
Office,
Grocery store,
Retail store,
Restaurant,
Movie Theater,
Baseball Park,
Amusement park, or
Gasoline service station
BUT
due to the high the unemployment rate at this time it is very difficult for minors to get a job………the jobs that use to be held by teens and retirees are now being taken by adults trying to support their families………

Businesses such as Publix, Kroger’s, Food Lion, Sonic, Chic-Fill-A, McDonald’s, Winn-Dixie, Krystal’s, Dairy Queen, and Burger King along with smaller local businesses that are in the same genre tend to hire those your age.

Fast-food and grocery stores are willing and able to train new employees but……………………
Minors tend to have many issues that affect their ability to work such as tardiness, absenteeism, and numerous schedule requests, poor work-ethic etcetera.
I am NOT implying you will have those issues but the fact that many your age do makes it more difficult for you to get an opportunity to prove your worth.

Because of this you must be able to show through words and actions that you are reliable, dependable, punctual, detail oriented, coach-able, punctual, mature and team oriented. You will also need great references since you don’t have work experience. Talk to teachers, counselors, clergy, coaches, club sponsors, and directors of places you have volunteered or people you have done casual labor for and ask them about giving you a reference. Get accurate, current contact information for them and ask them to be ready to get calls for references from potential employers.

Remember:
Most businesses are individually owned and operated so it is the owner’s policy and past experience with minors that will determine if they will hire you. Apply everywhere you can, the worse that can happen is they don’t hire you.
