I must be missing something here. What labor laws? In Texas I believe you can work in some occupations when you are 14.

My first job was also at age 14. The state where I lived required a "Work Permit" signed by your parents to work under the age of 16. I worked on a gas dock filling up boats that were passing through. At $3.75/hour in 100 degree heat it wasn't a great job, but the occasional $100 tip from folks whose boats took on 1000+ gallons of fuel made it well worth it.
