I clearly remember when high schoolers wanted a job like that to pick up some extra money. I haven't ever seen any kids that age doing odd jobs or things like weeding or trimming bushes...in the eighteen years we've lived here.
BUT.........
A very skilled Hispanic man brought his grandson to replant the bushes displaced from our pool being dug. I was so impressed with the both of them. Hard workers, skilled at gardening and brought their lunches to save money and so personable. I would have voted for either one of them for President. Whoops. I think that might be political.
Anyway. Times have changed. Work is hot and sweaty and itchy and disagreeable nowadays and not sought after. Plus mom is there with the money for whatever.
