WHODC, I hope you are not saying that cleaning and mowing lawns are crappy jobs, or jobs of little importance or pay. They are not jobs where you do them just to make a living. I clean houses at times and I mow grass for a living. People pay me very well to take care of their lawns for them and they pay me very well for any cleaning I do for them. I got booted out the door at my last job nearly nine months ago and I did the same thing when I was employed. Only difference now is all the money they pay out for my meaningless work is all mine and I am my own boss. You may think it is a chit job with no meaning, but my mower costs more than some peoples cars and trucks and next year they are going to be paying me more for my meaningless work. The way it sounds is like you think that some boy cutting grass is a nobody and can't do much of anything else, and I am here to tell you that just isn't the case. I not only get paid very well to mow grass, but I also enjoy it. I am also the boy that shovels snow off of the sidewalks in the winter. Maybe to you I am just the boy down the street, but I am doing alright for my self with my chitty jobs. LB & I cut grass, clean houses, ans shovel snow. Hell the plow on my truck cost more than a lot of people will pay for a truck or car. And all I have came from cleaning, mowing, plowing, shoveling, digging dirt, and even collecting trash at times. I am thinking about including picking up dog shit off of the lawns, because no one wants to do it and I can charge a lot of flipping money to do it before I cut their grass. So don't think that picking tomatoes or cutting grass or anything else is below human standards. What I do I do with care and pride. Below is what I have and where I live because of these substandard jobs.According to Jose his relatives have to pick tomatoes and a mow the lawn!!
This boy down the street also pays taxes and a lot of taxes for every penny I make. If that boy down the street isn't paying taxes and you allow that, you are as wrong as that boy is. That means that he does not have a business liscence or insurance and if anything happens while he is on your property, it is you that can and will be held responsible, not the boy down the street.
I know plenty of ladies and men that clean for a living and are not being paid under the table and they are making good money and working hard for every penny of that money. Cleaning houses is hard work and the pay is good. A cleaner can expect to get anywhere from $25 - $35 per hour here, and it is not under the table. Same thing applies in this situation, they have to be insured, and carry a minimum of $1 million dollars. If not and they get hurt, the homeowner willl surely be screwed.
Here is where I live because of cutting grass and cleaning.
Here is the truck and plow I bought because I am the boy down the street that cuts grass. I use this same truck to go shovel snow.
