"Corrin Fernald, 15, had applied for what seemed like her 15th job, and was promptly rejected for what seemed like the 15th time.
"The incoming sophomore at Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School landed her first job last year at Molly's Apothecary in Medway. But under child labor laws, she only worked about three times a month for two hours at a time.
"Eager to earn more money for a car and to help fund her college education, she applied to about 10 other businesses a few months later, from supermarkets to coffee shops - and was turned away at all of them.
"Fernald knows of only about five other 15-year-olds with jobs, and they were hired because they knew the employer, she said. She wondered why no one would hire her."
A recent MetroWest Daily News article reported on Corrin and her brother, Franklin, MA, residents, took the initiative to operate their own business, Ruby's Ice Cream & Frozen Lemonade.
