Yes indeed.

My sons & I used to do a rather large lawn-care business (while they were still living at home).

ANY school teacher, with any drive, could do the EXACT same thing. He/she is "off" during the really busy time for mowing. They could make an extra $3000-$4000 per year, if they simply chose to work during the summer (like most of us have to anyway).


I have a LOT of respect for teachers, but I really get sick of hearing all the complaints about being overworked and underpaid.
