You could try babysitting, in the summertime : yard work like mowing lawns, and watering flowers or walking dogs. In the winter time, try putting up flyers for shoveling snow or spreading ice melt. Just odd jobs like that, especially to retired couples, they usually love the help!

Its hard to get a job now a days, especially under 16-18, and I don't know the law in Texas but in California you can't get a job until you are 16. HOWEVER; there are ways around that, and I have a friend who started his own car wash/detailing business at 15 and he made bank and even hired in some of his friends. I understand your anxious to get a job and money trust me as soon as I got my license I went applying for jobs, but you may want to start off with the little jobs such as a car wash or lawn service?? Dog walking? Babysitting/nanny? (my sister makes 400/month babysitting 4 days a week after school)

Don't let it get you down, but its very hard to get a regular job at 14. Employers don't want to hirer someone with restrictions. I'd ask every fastfood place how young do they hire. Only problem very few hire under 16, but don't take my word for it you should defiantly ask first. Your best bet is babysitting or a paper route, or volunteering. The more volunteer experience you have the better your chances of getting a job when your older.
