These are the jobs many of us did as teens to make money.
Now the kids are playing xbox while illegals mow their lawn.

He found a day laborer he liked and the agreement was that I would pick him up at 7 in the morning every Saturday and Sunday and drive him home at 6 in the evenings...I still stayed away on weekends though because I knew my Dad would breach our labor contract and I would be out working with Jorge...I'll be damned if I ever touch a lawn mower ever again. That will never happen. I know Jorge has kids out there for that and I pay well. And no I'm not being racist. That was his name. He left to go to back to Mexico when I left for college at 17. Luckily, I left before he did or I would have been stuck getting my no paying wage job back before leaving for undergrad.
