I also Apoligize for,Jumping this thread! How about 6 Flags Amusement Park,or Anheuser-Busch Industries,I know both of those have Younger folk,workin' for em'.You live in the Flatlands,there's gotta' be Farms everywhere,or close by anyhow,Have you tried inquiring to work at a Farm? Churches are always reliable sources for info,regarding employment.Perhaps a local church's Pastor would allow you to use his name as a Reference.References are one of the Best way's to get your foot in the door.Check out Monster.com & Craigslist for Yardwork,etc.Whatever your endeavours,Be Honest,Alway's! Best o' Luck to you!
