hello,I'm 13 years old.My dad is 59 years old,and was forced to quit his job because his company was sued.He wants to start working again–but keeps getting rejected.I want to help with money,even if I don't earn enough,I want to be earning something.I don't want to stay a burden.I'm not good at any of the online jobs available,so I'm searching for something I'd have to attend.I've been told the minimum age requirement to work part-time in Singapore was 13,but I'm not sure.

Hey, you're really thoughtful for wanting to help your family! I think, you can work part-time at 13 but need permits and your parents' consent. Or maybe try approaching small businesses like cafes, bookstores, or tuition centers - they sometimes need help with simple tasks. BTW, focus on your studies too though :) maybe everything be eased for you :)

you're very thoughtful kid, wanting to help your dad in such a difficult situation. In jobstreet or other job portal.. it's very unlikely for you to find job ads that willing to hire someone your age :(
