Yup...it's 14. It isn't hard getting a first job; it's only hard getting a good first one...just apply at a bunch of places & one of them will call him back - it'd be even better if he handed his resume to the manager, himself. & +1 to fast food. That was a good first job for me to realize that I needed to make more money.
Theatre's are a decent place to check...same for wonderland. If he doesn't mind the commute, CNE will have 12 hour shifts every day once they open up (he'll make a lot of friends there, as well).
If he's not lazy, I would suggest starting off as a busser at a restaurant...it's a great industry to put him through school + if he can manage to move up, he can be bartending at 18.
There are better jobs out there, but these ones would be your best bet for building work ethic & learning the value of money & all that stuff.
I would only pick retail as a last resort because it generally only has 2 seasons where the money's consistent (summer & winter or summer & fall), and it sort of teaches people that they don't need to work too hard; it makes for bad habits lol.
