Absolutely. In the last two years I have seen the landscaping work at my office complex go from being done by college age Americans to illegal aliens. Plus for all those on fr who bash American youth workers as being lazy worthless punks, the college kids did a much better job in half the time and with a better attitude.
I did yardwork as a kid. I had plenty of bottom rung jobs. I tried to do my best at each of them. I got pride out of doing a good job.
