Any fast-food chain is good, cinemas....etc. Basically, anywhere that you'd likely be surrounded by people your own age.

[faken]

anything that involves working with a team and for people (fast-food chains, retail stores, grocery stores). If it's your first job those are what people usually get into.

Personally i'd like to be away from Fast food and into retail. But a movie theatre is a good choice too, especially because of all the free movies.

[AzN_RiverdaleCI]

Movie theatre or some sort of stock person.

Retail. You can become a keyholder then maybe even an assistant manager. These are skills that you can fork over to a real career should you study in post secondary school since you'll have some degree of management and communication skills.

Probably working at the customer service centre or work at Wal-Mart return merchandises department which can be extremely fun as you can reject or take the returned items.

another option is to work at costco as a receipt checker and this part is fun, just use a yellow highlighter and draw a smiley face or give them weird looking check marks

theatre is excellent and can be less stressful as you don't need to do anything basically, just walk around and do some ticket ripping or pop some popcorns

as for kfc, i would say its not a bad job but its extremely oily in there and everyday, you would have to face the oily environment which is bad. also, the corn starch will likely to absorb your clothes and your body where it can create a prudent smell

Also forgot to add factory and call center. Those pay 10 at the very least.

At what age can teenagers starting working in Ontario? I assume there is a minimum age requirement?

[alanbrenton]

To work for a relative who has a small business. This way, they get to expense your salary while giving you wealthier/richer work experience and hopefully, a slightly higher salary.

Probably whenever you get your SIN #, although most retailers hire people 15.5 years or older.

If you are interested in retail, perhaps try Shoppers Drug Mart. The pay scale varies quite a bit depending on the owner, but it should be $9.50 ish for a cashier. That's how I started off, and in 3 months I was a Supervisor (still am today), making $11.25. Objectively that is a relatively poor wage for a Supervisor, but coupled with my 30% discount and quiet store location..... I suppose it's good until I get my degree.
Overall, the prospects of being promoted to photolab tech/supervisor and possibly even asst. manager are very good, once you get to know everyone. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't recommend it.
