What about finding research with a professor?
Perhaps that would be better than doing an internship with a company?

Yeah and I'm not sure of my ability to find a job. We have a mall, 5 shopping centers, and over 50 restuarants in my neighborhood, but the summer before my sister went off to college (when she was 17) she had to apply to like 20 places before one place accepted her. I would probably be competing against college students/ maybe even adults, especially in this kind of economy.
My dad always says that nobody ever wants to give you the first job, especially if you're under 18.
It's a bit disheartenning, but I agree, I'm too young. Who in their right mind would want to hire a 15-year-old high schooler versus a 20-year old college student?
