Where I live it’s legal to work as many hours as you want as long as it starts and ends at the right times. Most places won’t consider you full-time, though. A 17 year old at the place I work works 50 hours a week during the summer, but she’s considered part time because she doesn’t work much during the school year (like 10 hours/week). Businesses won’t put you on full-time anyway because then they’d have to give you benefits like paid vacation and sick time.
