if you are in colorado you might try panning for gold in your backyard. Gold miners make good money, if you're lucky you might even make more money than both your parents.

I worked at the movie theater when I was your age. Fun, got paid, and got to see unlimited free movies. Grocerie store sackers hire sometimes at 15. Baskin Robins, starts at 14, that was my first job. That was fun also, and my family loved the ice cream I brought home. Hostess at a retaurant, sometimes they hire at 15.

My daughter-in-law's sister (also 15) just got a job at a nursing home in our area (a really ritzy one -- rich old people) and she's going to be a server....which I think is a pretty good FIRST job!!

That is illegal in UK and I'm pretty sure it's illegal where you are too. You should check your employee handbook or call head office.

Eat as much food as you want while working. My Dairy Queen boss did the same thing to me, so I took it upon myself to collect the money via food. I ate food whenever I felt like it and never paid for it.

In Colorado, you are legally entitled to a 30 minute, uninterrupted duty free unpaid break. you are also entitled to a 10 min break every 4 hours. If your boss isn't adhering to the law, contact the Colorado Dept. of Labor and Employment. Here's the website with break information: http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/CDLE-LaborLaws/CDLE/1248095305420. Show this to your boss to let him know that you are aware of your rights. Additionally, there should be a labor poster displayed in your work site that talks about this as well.

It is illegal for him to withhold breaks. You are suppose to get a lunch break for an 8 hour shift and you are doing more. I would talk to a district manager. Here is where you can also contact someone higher up:http://www.kfc.com/contact/
