In my neighborhood, its simply impossible to find a teenager willing to make $30/hour helping me with odd jobs around my house. They get all their money from Mommy and Daddy, so why work? When my toddlers get to be that age, they will be working for me, and others if requested.

On the other hand, if a child is raised properly and can be trusted to be responsible, and the college offers a serious education, I think a parent should pay for his college education if able.

Where's your neighborhood? For $30 an hour, I'll be right over to help with those odd jobs.

Would you be interested in a retired senior with 40+ yrs. experience working with his hands (last 12 yrs. outdoors)?

If you lived in our area you’d have my 15 YO son stuck to you like glue. He goes around the neighborhood asking for work. He’ll pull T-posts, mow, move and burn your brush pile, paint your house, or buck your hay bales.

And he’s willing to haggle over price. (He’s happy with $10 an hour.)
