[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My twelve year old and his best friend have made $500 over the last two days.  But, they haven’t been going door to door.  They have been using the neighborhood list serv. There are lots of kids posting on there.  Maybe you just aren’t seeing them because they are using new technology.   [/quote]

Nope, our listserv is desperate for people to shovel. Literally zero kids offering to shovel in our area.[/quote]

Why do you want children to work for you? Hire adult workers like a normal person. Plenty of landscape companies make their winter money in snow removal.[/quote]

I get hundreds of landscaping ads spring through fall, and 0 snow shoveling ads. I sure some guys are willing to do the job, but first, it's hard to travel in these conditions and that's why it's a "neighbor kid" job,  and second, it's not a regular job, not even every year, so people don't have the business connections to make arrangements, and third, it's hard to make arrangements on short notice with short due date and not knowing how much work will be needed where and when.
