I was just curious because my cousin (who lives in Japan) was thinking of becoming a florist.

Is your cousin who lives in Japan, Japanese? Japan Labor Standards Laws: (Minimum Age) Article 56. An employer shall not employ children until the first 31st of March following their having fully reached the age of 15 years. 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, outside of school hours, children above 13 full years of age maybe employed in occupations in enterprises other than those listed in items 1 through 5 of Annexed Table No. 1, and which involve light labor that is not harmful to the health and welfare of the children, with the permission of the administrative office. The same shall apply to children under 13 full years of age employed in motion picture production and theatrical performance enterprises.

Well, legally you can work at 15 in Japan. But if you did not finish high school or college, you would not choose jobs at all. Japanese employers do not want to hire people who did not finish schools. So it's virtually impossible to have a job you want at 15. except for part-time jobs.
