The economy is terrible, right? So I am assuiming that a lot of high school kids must not be able to work.
Well, all winter I've been out there shoveling/snow blowing my driveway and my doorbell never rang once with someone offering to clear it for $. I'd toss someone $20 to do it. I used to shovel all winter long when I was a kid for $.
People lost their incentive, no drive.
I have a good career. 7 years ago, due to some political shifts where I was working, I was out of a job. Full mortage and a 3 month old at home. I went on a massive campaign to get jazz gigs and was playing 2-3 nights a week for $50 to $100 buck. We used the money for groceries. I would have shoveled driveways, mowed lawns , whatever it took to NOT burden my family.
