<p>Hi.</p>
<p>Is it possible to work full-time for 16 years old? I know it is only possible during vacations on a regular school schedule. But what if I'm doing dual-enrollment with some (let's say so) of the classes online?
Thanks in advance.

<p>It probably depends on the state. I know, for example, that NY caps the amount of hours for minors ages 16 & 17 that attend school at 28 for a school week and 40 for a non-school week. You'd have to check out the regulations for where you live.</p>
<p>Yeah I think it depends on where you live.</p>
<p>A lot of places in CA don't even like to hire minors because they can't work as many hours if they're in school.</p>
<p>yeah, i havent been able to get a job in washington even though i am 17. businesses here generally just want older people.</p>
<p>Where I live it's legal to work as many hours as you want as long as it starts and ends at the right times. Most places won't consider you full-time, though. A 17 year old at the place I work works 50 hours a week during the summer, but she's considered part time because she doesn't work much during the school year (like 10 hours/week). Businesses won't put you on full-time anyway because then they'd have to give you benefits like paid vacation and sick time.</p>
<p>In Illinois you can. Most people just do it for little jobs like at grocery stores and stuff.</p>
