sorry bud, till you get a car, yer kind of screwd. no offense. is it legal to work that young by your local laws, in the states, you need your parents to go with you in some states ?

and yes, people older than you wont take you serious, just how it is, sorry...

The legal age to start working in Australia is 13. Not 2 years ago it was 14 years and 9 months. This is a hobby were age shouldnt determine your level of knowledge, but employers dont see that.

I will not be in a car for at least another 2-3 years, so in the meantime, my mum could drive me when she's not at work. But thats not fair on her.

17 here and got offered a job at my lfs but turned it down since i got school to do and want to focus on that plus i dont have a car to drive anywhere and it is 40mins away. this summer after gr. 12 is done i hope i can still get one there just for the experience

Thats such an amazing lfs! the one near me is horrible to their fish, they're in tiny, filthy tanks.

I wish I were old enough to work somewhere, for now its just babysitting =[. I basically live at the petstore near me, might as well get paid for it, lol.

i worked at my old place for a little over a year untill they they decided to close down. loved every minute of it. and aside from the pay i was getting 40 off dried goods and 25 off livestock. i was able to order in some stuff for myself too.

I've been working at a LFS for about 8 months now, awesome fun, decent pay for my age and 20% off everything.

Well its all extra experience and learning.

You make 176,800.00 a year if you work 52 weeks and do not make any overtime. And you are trying to one-up a highschool kid that is excited about working at the LFS????

i was thinking the same thing. kinda pathetic. i make good money also and was not going to throw it in someones face. maybe theres a forum called richstuckupfishkeepers.com you might be more at home there

yeah well if you noticed where he lives it takes that much just to call that place home that is why i no longer live there, bogwood keep up the good work, great way to get life experience, and prepare for what is ahead my hat is off to you, proud of you
