15 y/o DS job fell through

- it is late and most places have already hired their summer staff
- he cannot work much (sports, vacation, etc) -- why would someone want to hire and train your son for a few weeks here and there?
- he is 15 (requires extra paperwork)
All of this adds up to businesses not wanting to hire your son.

Ideas...
- Chik-fil-a sometimes hires 15-year-olds. He will probably only get 1 or 2 short shifts per week. Better than nothing perhaps?
- He makes signs for neighborhood helper in your meighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods -- weeding, lawn-mowing, babysitting, petsitting, watering gardens, etc. He will have to be able to ride his bike to get to different places. You will have to drive him and equipment if he gets mowing jobs (do you own a lawn mower?)
- You look and see if there are any places that are still taking CITs (he will not get paid; likely, you will have to pay the camp to take him)

Who in their right mind would let their child work there?! 🤮🤮🤮

I'd take away his phone and send him to his room and tell him he's not allowed out until he's come up with three viable ideas.

And I'd ignore this person, who is trying to be a harda$$. It's perfectly reasonable to help your 15 year old find an alternative. But GL with that, as my athlete DD is in the same boat, and it's slim pickings for a flexible job schedule. Maybe he could volunteer instead? I know you want paid but you need to be realistic about that.

Can he take a summer class? In MCPS lots of kids take health or PE or similar electives over the summer. It would provide some structure.

moving companies always need guys to unload and load trucks

Seriously, people? Moving companies do not want your 15 year old kid to work 20 days for them over the summer.

I’m not trying to be a hardass. But I’ve told my kids plenty of times that they need to do the majority of work for themselves and nobody wants to help someone who doesn’t help themselves.

It is very easy for young teens to get hired at our local Chik-fil-a's in Fairfax. They only get 1 4-hour shift per week, but they still get hired. I am sorry that you did not have the same experience when you applied at your local one.

This is one problem with min wage jobs… no hours.

In some states they do. In Montana they have large banners stating they are now hiring 15 year olds.
