I got my first job at 14, when I was a busgirl in a restaurant. It was only a summer job, but I bet if you and your daughter checked around lots of restaurants would hire younger workers for similar work.
My younger brother started working in the summer at an amusement park (a small local one!) when he had just turned 13. He has worked there the past 3 summers, and is in the running to be a supervisor this summer, when he will have just turned 16!
If your daughter really wants to work, don't give up if they say she is too young to work. I'm not saying to do anything illegal, but if she shows initiative and enthusiasm, they would probably be glad to have her. In my opinion, a 15-year old who WANTS to be there is much more valuable than a 19-year old who feels that he is ENTITLED to the job and has a less-than-ideal work ethic.
JMO!
