[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you live in a nice area, there seems to be unlimited demand for dishwashers, hosts, servers, fast food workers, grocery store workers, etc. I know it’s location dependent, but I know of so many businesses looking to fill service jobs.  [/quote]

This is unfortunately another aspect of the "haves vs. the have nots".  My teen makes around $400/week mowing 6 yards which probably is a total of 3-4 hours per week.  We live in a nice area where the lawn service companies will charge 2x or more for the same service, so while it seems nuts to me...it's saving the homeowner 50%, and they feel like they are helping out the local teenager.[/quote]

Agreed.  And we pay teen babysitters up to $30 per hour, and a teen could charge a similar amount for snow removal as your son charges for landscaping.  We also have teens stop by with business cards and websites for things like mobile car detailing, and one wanted to clean our windows, but since they aren't insured, we thought that one was a stretch.
