Start a small home business, and make your kids help.

My son rented a ditch witch the day before he ran off to college, made $420 in one day.

Had customers lined up all over town.

Start a small home business, and make your kids help.

I started doing freelance web design 10 years ago. Right from the start I offered to teach any of my three daughters the craft, but not one of them was interested. I finally had to quit truck driving after 31 years because my business grew too large to be a sideline. I have tried to hire young people as subcontractors, but they aren't dependable enough. I have clients who depend on me, and I can't chance letting them down.

Mrs. Chandler is sitting at her computer now learning graphic editing, and I have her retired sister doing copy writing for me.

Older workers have a sense of what business is all about.
