I'm going to be fourteen years old, and would technically be able to work at the Apple store in my state if I had a work permit. I think I'd want to apply for it as a summer job possibly, and I have used Apple products for a long time and have a general knowledge of them and really like them. Apple stores are accepting applications near where I live, and I think it might be a good way to make money to fund a social network, with the server computer I'll be using. Is it pretty much like being a clerk or is it more complicated, and would I be able to apply? And I already know it's probably very minimal, but what would be my chances of getting accepted?

The Apple Store is not going to hire a 14 year old. Sorry. Trust me, there'll be plenty of time for that later. Enjoy school while you're still in it.

^ Seconded. Especially in Chicago, at either the N Michigan or North/Clybourn stores. Those are high volume stores. Unless you meant "Chicago" like everyone from Illinois does.

I'd guess 16 would be the absolute minimum and even then only with an extensive Apple/computer background and a magnetic personality.

Try to just get some other retail experience since that wouldn't hurt applying to Apple in the future.

While I believe it is unlikely they would hire you given your age, you will find more information in this thread.
