| 14 is really hard. My kids started working full time during the summer at 15 and that even took a lot of effort (they probably went in person to 25 places to get one offer). 16 is when everyone is eager to hire a teen. |

pp answering myself here Holy Moly! AMC really will hire 14 year olds! I'm shocked https://www.amctheatres.com/faqs/corporate-info/career-opportunities/what-are-the-age-requirements-for-working-at-amc "AMC follows all local and federal guidelines for employing minors in the workplace. We often provide offers for employment to persons between the ages of 14-17, based on the times that they can work as indicated by their school work permits. Because the labor laws can vary from state to state, we'd encourage you to contact your local theatre and speak with the manager. He or she will be the best person to ask about age requirements for employment." |

None. Unless the child wants a job for pocket money, or the family needs the extra income, it doesn't help for resume-building. |
