well I'm trying to get a job too... I applied at blockbuster and hollywood video, doing online applications, and they both said no, just because I wasn't 16, even though I'll be 16 in 26 days, and I have graduated high school! I'm gonna apply at starbucks, they make good money there... like $7.50 an hour, and according to my sister who used to work there, about another $3 an hour average in tips.
