My son wants to try a part time job this summer. I would just like to ask if he is already able to get a summer job here in Qatar at the age of 14. And if so, where can he find a job. thank you

Join the QL voluntary group or Visit Qatar Red Crecent, they have many programs that need volunteers.

Student jobs here are not like back in the UK or US where you can go and do baby sitting or work at KFC. Here to work anywhere "legally" you need to have a sponsor. Of course you are your son's sponsor however who is going to hire the kid?

Your son's best option would be to do some voluntary work instead, its not always about getting a job that will make them a responsible kid.
