Earning money at 16 years old

Based on repetitive statements, I know the minimum age to work is 16 and a half. That being said, people my age have a variety of jobs ahead of them. Kids my age can get jobs as interns (if they have experience), babysitting, selling snacks at school, and work part time. However, it is not easy finding a job unless you have connections or the company is desperate to find a replacement for a fired employee. Now a days, there are even teen job search programs. I do not know much about the job experience, since I do not have one. My knowledge is only acquired through my observations and repetitive statistics.
