Ha ha ha, that's adorable. US federal minimum working age is 14, with exceptions made for mostly bourgeois shit (i.e. working at your parents' business, being a child actor, etc.).
An employer may be required to apply for state certificates permitting them to employ minors, but that's just minor annual paperwork. In nearly all states 14 is when you can get almost any job (excluding work that would qualify for hazard pay).
Yep, only thing is that 14-16 you get a 1 hour break and are limited to 20 hour weeks I think. Also, not allowed near hot or sharp or electric things. Basically they're just allowed to answer phones, take orders, or run a register.
Had a few at a pizza joint I worked at for a while and had mad respect for the girl who was asked to "clock out and keep working" by the manager and the pulled out her phone and started recording. Said she'd sue the store of he tried that shit again and went outside to wait for her ride (she was 15 I think).
