I work for a Nationwide Construction/Remodeling company. We specialize in restaurants. We have an office in Dallas and I am from and want to live here in Houston. They are letting me set up a satellite office in Houston on the condition that I find some new local customers. We do work for Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC, Wendys, Burger King, DQ, Chillis, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, etc.
I am looking to reach out to some of the larger franchises in the Houston area as well as corporations that have their HQ in Houston.
Thanks for any help! I want to stay in my part of TX and this is the way I can do it.

My mom and I always get in fights over the same thing: me wanting a summer job. She tells me that I’m too young to have a job, and that I should enjoy my childhood. The reason I want a job is so I can have money of my own, to spend on my own. I hate asking my mom for money; I absolutely DREAD it. I feel so guilty when I take her money. When I actually have money and I try to pay for something, my mom won’t let me. She wants me to save my money, so she ends up paying for whatever it is. I hate that as well. I want a lot of things, and if I had a job, I could pay for all of those things. I really want a summer job so I can pay for my own stuff, without having to get my mom to spend her money on me. Wouldn’t you think my mother would be happy about this?

I’m 14, and I’m qualified to work at Zaxby’s, Firehouse Subs, or Chick-Fil-A. I’m sure there are other places as well, but those restaurants are in my town.

I mean, I’m a straight A student. I don’t get in a lot of trouble, and I’m an all-around good kid. What can I do to convince my mom to let me get a job?
Trust me when I say I can work at my local Zaxby’s, Firehouse Subs, or Chick-Fil-A. I’ve been there. I’ve asked. They’ve told me I could work there.
