There are other privately owned places, not necessarily food service, that hire younger kids too so that's something to think about if you dont want to work in food.
Are you sure? I just read a couple of articles (yes, after I posted, I went and looked it up.. lol) that stated that McDonald's doesn't hire anyone under 14. Now, say, Wendy's or Dairy Queen, I'm not sure about. But definitely, McDonald's will hire at 14.


And yeh, private or local places will hire younger kids because they're not under a "national" rule/code/law.
