Come to think of it, no I have not seen these people. The only ones similar are the landscaping business people who have them working for them all year long and shovel snow in the winter time off the driveways and sidewalks....but that is about all. I did find a flyer in my front door earlier this week from a young person to offer removing snow from my driveway, but that is about it! Guess all the young people are sitting on their phones texting, messaging, and listening to music!
These are the days when parents gave their kids an allowance for doing chores around the house. I don't recall any parents I know with young kids now that do that anymore. When you had kids money for nothing, they learn entitlement behaviors. They think just because they 'are' that they deserve to get whatever they want.
The problem also is the government wanting these young people to be licensed (state, county and some cities) and insured like they are a full fledged business! Similar to what they have done to kids with lemoade stands! You can't make money these days without the government getting a cut no matter how young you are or how small your business is, even a one time lemonade stand or shoveling snow!
Misssing? Sort of like Schooting. LOL.

ReplyDeleteThese kids are missing out on a goldmine. They could each make $100 and more (cash) in just a few hours of work.
ReplyDeleteOh, sorry, did I say work?
