14 years old. You will need a student work permit from your school, and they can make their own guidelines that are stricter than the state's, like you have to keep a certain gpa, you can only work XX hours per week, etc. It will be very hard to find a job because many of the jobs teens used to get are going to their parents, adults with families, due to the bad economy and layoffs. Ask your school counselor if they know of any jobs, sometimes they get info on jobs that you could not get by yourself. Don't take it personally if you cannot find a job, it's really bad out there now, next summer will likely be better. Even in good times, it's generally hard to get a job at 14, there are more jobs at 16. If you cannot get a paid job, consider volunteer work. Many summer camps will hire you as a junior counselor, you don't get paid, but it will help you get a paid job when you're old enough. Or volunteer with an organization that has something to do with your future goals, it looks good on your college resume.

Anyone who in important enough to need a production assistant probably isn't hanging around on YA or advertising on Craigs list either. You need to do some knocking on doors and look for this kind of job in person. Go to the studios in LA and get acquainted with the personal departments. Ask around. Read the trade papers help wanted section.
