Not to be too flippant​, but, do teenage kids do tasks such as cutting grass anymore?? Kudos to those who are. What about paper boys? Are they still around? At least in some big cities I am familiar with, the newspapers delivery people are adult men who cover huge territories using trucks and vans to do the deliveries. As opposed to a kid on a bicycle covering just his neighborhood.

When I was teen, I had a lawn mowing business AND a paper route. During casual conversation I would let my paper customers know I also cut lawns....since I already demonstrated responsibility delivering papers many folks would have me cut their grass.

I averaged about $18 a week delivering papers.......I averaged that each yard I mowed.

My son does some lawns, mostly for the nearest neighbors and a few elderly church members. DBA "Epic Fail Lawn Service." He's also Epic Fail Painting Service and Epic Fail Plumbing Service.

A mom and three sons up the street have a real lawn-care business, with a trailer and everything, but they charge more.

One of my girls does a lot of dog care.
