    Anybody know the best chances of getting a job at the age of fifteen? Work hard. And finished my Junior cert?

    Very hard because you're under 16. Maybe you could try a Lounge Boy? I did it when I was 14, wages were cr*p but the tips were good.

    Otherwise you can make a job for yourself? Cutting grass, painting, cleaning?

    To be honest, if possible, your best option is to do your Leaving Certificate.

    Ya I agree with Irish_Elect_Eng

    It's good and all that you want work but you're only 15! Enjoy your youth. You have your whole life ahead of you to work.

    I'd hope you aren't in a position whereby you HAVE to work. Chances of that are <2% I'd say.

    Good luck

    Of course a young fella needs to work. Those chips won't pay for themselves!

    Fair play OP. Of all my late 30's/early 40's mates, those who are doing best are those who started working in their teens. Best of luck to you.
