dont you think that if you cant find a job then you should

I am with you on this one. I do not understand why people will let themselves get so far down and behind when there truly are so many options. It is easier for some to think of reasons why they can not come up with anything to do, than to just pull them selves up by their boot straps and 'just do it'. As a previous poster suggests, there may not be mowing opportunities for everyone, and risk can be too high when it comes to entering peoples homes, but with ingenuity and a no-matter-what attitude there is always something to do for money. I like the phrase "if you keep doing what you're doing you're going to keep getting what you're getting."

This is an excellent plan and using your head, rather than looking for sympathy, I admire your take charge and no job is to small belief. Good on for you.

I think you are right..there is no excuse for someone who needs help but wont make an effort: mowing grass, cleaning houses, flipping burgers..all these are just some of the open possibilities for a man seeking employment..No job be so dreaded if it puts food on the table;)+

My son just turned 13. He wanted extra money so he printed up flyers offering to cut lawns etc and already has five customers. I think that the work is there, it is just some people are to lazy.
