I had a lawn mowing service when I was 12 in Phoenix. Then I got a maintenance account with Prudential real estate. I enjoyed it. Although I didn’t buy my mom a car. It taught me a lot. Nowadays the illegals have taken those opportunities away from our youth. But I’m sure there’s parts of the country where it still exists.
I made a lot of money doing yards in Phoenix my sophomore and junior years. Enough to pay for a lot of stuff I shouldn’t have been doing. {:0)
