@cleanwithmike I don't see these as setting you financially free. None of them pay particularly well either. Additionally it's restrictive on location given the physical work involved. You will certainly have to extend your radius beyond your city and then you may find yourself traveling 2 or 3

@interesting_aIl I don't really like this. That people are so important they need to be cordoned off and no one should get close to them. This old man certainly embodies how I feel. That I don't care who you are, I'm just going about my day.

@TheWaiterCoach @cleanwithmike They don't, at least not in the UK. Sole trader as landscape is circa 31k per annum net and gutter cleaner 22k net. Pool cleaner? No one pays to have their pool cleaned during Autumn and Winter so half the year you'd struggle to find work. Being a recruiter of 10years I tend to

@richardrahl1086 @cleanwithmike That sounds good. However when I check on the earning potential of sole traders/freelancers(in the UK) for these types of work it's coming back fairly low. For example £22,500 net for a gutter cleaner, £34,100 for landscaping. You've got the winter period where people seldom pay

@TheUfoJoe It's wiser to just deny it all and cover it up like they have for the past 75 years. Saying it's aliens to try and cover up something else just puts a bigger spot light on the issue, which doesn't make sense if hiding something in your objective.

@KevinNaughtonJr My problem is many hiring managers, even those I've worked with, occasionally hold CS degrees in high regards. To the point that they won't look at candidates without. I don't agree but it is reality at many companies.

@rw_matress @cleanwithmike Owning any company and managing it correctly will lead to profits. Manage it incorrectly, and it goes out of business. If you had the finances, I don't imagine you would immediately sink it into hiring people, buying vans and equipment? First, you'd start from scratch by working
