      Really none. The US labor laws prohibit children under the age of 16 to get a job. However, you could do chores or other things for people and have them pay you under the table such as babysitting. As for a paying job, it is not allowed. Children should focus on getting an education so that some day they will be able to get a better job.

        Mow grass, babysit (after taking a one-day training course) and offer to do odd jobs for elderly neighbors. Also getting up leaves is a good job for a 13 year old too. Good for you for looking for ways to make money.

          This is taken from the federal law: If you are 13 year olds
          • You can deliver newspapers.
          • You can work as a baby-sitter.
          • You can work as an actor or performer in motion pictures, television, theater or radio.
          • You can work in a business solely owned or operated by your parents.
          • You can work on a farm owned or operated by your parents.
          Basically the minimum age requirement to work is 14 year old.

          It really depends on what country you are in. In UK you can't really work in shops until 16 or 18. You could babysit , bit that is getting increasingly risky too.

          A paper route or babysitting is about it. At 13 you should be more focused on your school work, friend and sports.
