[quote=Anonymous]OP, my sixteen year old worked last summer but we found that it is quite hard to get "real" jobs in DC for kids that age. She really pounded the pavement - we went into shops, ice cream places, restaurants, you name it, but it is correct that most places are reluctant to hire kids under 18. We were told as much by many employers: while there is no legal bar to hiring kids under 18, many places just said, "Sorry, our policy is we only hire 18 and over." DD eventually found a job sweeping up hair at the salon where I get my hair cut. I just asked my stylist if they were hiring temporary summer help and she said yes and put DD in touch with the manager. She was the youngest summer staffer by several years but it was a good experience.[/quote]
