> In late public school and throughout high school, I hired fellow students to cut lawns and maintain properties (I picked up the contracts through real estate brokers). One pair of parents could not get either of their sons to cut their lawn so they hired my outift. I then hired one of their sons to do the job. The parents were pissed off.

That’s the sort of thing I don’t get. Could not “get” their kids to mow the lawn? Not doing it would never have been an option for me.
