Comment on Ask HN: Internships for a 13-year-old?Comments−sodevious11yGetting an internship at 13 can be difficult, but not impossible. Here's my advice from my experience coming to NYC for an internship while in HS:- Try your hardest, and don't let anyone tell you you can't.- Figure out if there are any employment laws that could affect you working somewhere.- Don't tell people how old you are, until it's absolutely necessary (legally), let them judge you on your skillset and portfolio- Ignore their requirements. Apply and ask for the position anyways!−lachlanjcOP11y👍 Thanks sodevious!

Getting an internship at 13 can be difficult, but not impossible. Here's my advice from my experience coming to NYC for an internship while in HS:
- Try your hardest, and don't let anyone tell you you can't.
- Figure out if there are any employment laws that could affect you working somewhere.
- Don't tell people how old you are, until it's absolutely necessary (legally), let them judge you on your skillset and portfolio
- Ignore their requirements. Apply and ask for the position anyways!
