Matthew’s Answer

In addition to Mohit's suggestion, think about participating in internships during your summer breaks when you're not attending classes. These internships offer valuable hands-on experience in the real world and can also boost your chances of securing a full-time job when you're close to completing your education.

Mohit’s Answer

It's important to apply for jobs that match your qualifications, but remember, you can always begin with smaller opportunities. I started working part-time while I was still an undergrad, and the key is to prioritize your studies over making money during that period.

Keep applying for jobs and continue learning at the same time. This approach will make your journey more enjoyable and friendly.

Tony’s Answer

I started at 15 myself. https://dol.ny.gov/working-papers
If you are aged 14-17 you will need an employment certificate, also called working papers, in order to hold a job in New York State.

This rule covers:

High school graduates
Minors who work for their parents
Minors who do industrial homework
Working papers are divided into two age groups (14-15 and 16-17):

14-15-year-olds - Your working papers are blue. If you are 14 and 15 years old, you are issued these working papers because you are not allowed to work in a factory.

16-17-year-olds (in school) - Your working papers are green. The difference between 14-15 year old working papers and 16-17 year old working papers is that you are allowed to work in a factory. You cannot work around certain machines, do construction work, help on a motor vehicle, clean, oil, wipe, or adjust belts on machinery.

16-17-year-olds (out of school) - Your working papers are peach. If you are 16 to 17 years old and are not in school or are leaving school for full time employment, you will need these working papers. You are allowed to work in a factory, cannot work around certain machines, do construction work, help on a motor vehicle, or clean, oil, wipe, or adjust belts on machinery.
