Im sure the mall has places like Mc Donald's or Wendy's they to work for them until you turn 16 then you can apply for pac sun. Where I live, you only need a work permit if you're 15 or younger. It varies from state to state, so see if you can find out what it's like over there. Depends, in Ohio, it is 14... and you need a work permit if you are 17 or younger.
