help please?
can anyone name any jobs a 14 year old can get at an airport? nowadays i dont think its possible. but im not talking about any local airport, im talking about the big ones (specifically Beirut International Airport because it is the only airport in the country 
). even if it comes to sweeping floors, just anything that'll help me save for flight training in the future.thanks!

start asking around, hang out at the local FBO, talk to the manager of the FBO. tell him that your into aviation, although young, you want to be around a place even if its sweeping floors. i've been in the same position, now i'm a Riddle student and in the summers making money now at the local exac. airport fueling jets and being on the line. i started sweeping floors but if you work hard enough they will see that and hopefully let you do more jobs around the place. good luck man. follow your dreams...i am and loving it!

Forget the airport. Go around Beirut picking up all the spent brass and sell it. There is an unlimited supply and you won't have to work for airport wages. Mortar recycling is also a big business I hear. I realize that you are only 14, but if you are seriously considering getting into aviation I would seriously consider getting out of Lebanon as soon as you can. I am somewhat familiar with the opportunities and the political climate there and don't think there is much there for you. Just my opinion.
