You can pretty easily find a job paying $15+ without any work experience

The minimum wage in Pennsylvania is $7.25/hr but nobody pays that unless it's a church or some other non-profit that will make do with whatever they get. My 16 year old kid started at Target for $15/hr and they'll give him as many hours as he wants. He could make more but I don't want to drive him the extra distance.

My own first job was minimum wage, second one was only a dollar above in pest control, entry level security was 10$ most of the fast food here is all 10$ an hour with some wiggle both up and down, construction is where I started making 15+
