What summer jobs can I get as a 14 year old?

I'd really want to work at a country club. So if possible, if someone could tell me what possible jobs I could do there at 14 if available. I'd like to think I'm mature for my age, and look older than my age. If I can't get a job at a country club, could I receive other recommendations that are like a country club?

    WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO DO and do you have the skills to do them...

    Electrical, Mechanical, Janitorial, Kitchen, Horticulture...

    IF not then you are NOT out of luck you just have to be WILLING to LEARN and WORK HARD without causing trouble or getting into trouble so lead yourself and follow no one but the instructions that you are given...

    Most states of the U.S.

    have very strict laws regarding what sorts of jobs someone under 16 is allowed to be hired to do.

    So: check your state rules.

    The state should list exactly what jobs an under-16 is allowed to be hired to do.

    In my day (and in the state where I lived at that time)

    golf caddy

    was one of the very few jobs that an under-16-year-old was allowed to be hired to do

    and

    the state restricted how many hours a day someone under 16 could work such a job.

    (I believe it was: no more than four hours a day).

    I notice some others mention bus boys and yard workers

    but neither of those were legal for under-16s in the state where I grew up.

    Newspaper delivery was legal...but newspapers are pretty much a thing of the past, so I don't expect you'll get help there.

    You might be able to do yardwork *as a contract laborer*

    - that is: you're not hired as a regular worker, but you are hired by individual home-owners who are willing to pay cash, so there is no record of the labor

    In such a job

    you are typically expected to provide your own equipment (your own lawn-mower and weed-wacker, for example)

    though you might find some elderly/infirm homeowners who will let you use their equipment to mow and trim their yard.

    Some places will hire someone your age to bus tables.  Another option is doing yard work.  It's hard work, but you can make decent money at it.  I mowed lawns and did landscaping when I was 14, then got a job as a grocery bagger in a military commissary.

    I heard Matt Gaetz is hiring. Working at a state house is so much better than a country club.
