Would a company hire an emancipated minor despite age restrictions?

Do you think a company with an age requirement of 18 would hire an emancipated minor, given that he or she is qualified for the job?

Not possible. Being emancipated only means that you may live on your own at your own expense, and no longer need to live with your parents/legal guardians or have to go into foster care under the supervision of the court. You are still subject to ALL other laws & regulations regarding work conditions, age for drivers licenses and restrictions on working, driving, and everything else.

As for company restrictions or policies on minimum hiring ages, emanicipation by the court is totally irrelevant. If policy is 18, then 18 it is. The govt sets minimum requirements; companies, other employers, establishments, etc, can set higher standards than govt minimums.

In many states, you cant even serve alcohol until youre 21... despite the fact that an 18 year old is a legal adult.

My point? Maturity and personal responsibility in no way affects ones age-sensitive legal rights.
