can i work at dairy queen at 14

Well, it might depend on the laws in your area about work permits for minors. Some places allow 14 year olds to work with limited hours, while in some others, the minimum age might be higher. Have you checked with your local government regulations?

Dairy Queen, like most companies, usually adopts the legal working age from the state or country they operate in. So, if your local employment laws permit, it's possible. But I'd advise checking their specific hiring policies or getting an adult to inquire for you.

If they say no, don't feel discouraged. There are many other opportunities out there that are suitable for someone your age. You could instead consider babysitting, pet walking, lawn mowing or even starting your own small business like a lemonade stand. What's most important is to stay motivated and keep exploring.
