How can an international teenager get a job?

I don't know a whole lot. I have a few friends who are international students. Honestly, as far as I can tell, its all about the visa the guy gets. As long as he doesn't get a student visa and start working or get a work visa and start as a student, he should be fine. The best place I know to check is http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1326.html It gives a lot of info on stuff like that and its a government site so its worth a look. Tons of information. Mostly, as I said, make sure he gets the right visa. When it comes to wanting to start college, as far as I know, he'd still probably just have to apply like we do and change his visa type. Hope that helps!
