There is money to be made cutting grass for sure. Be sure to check in at
your extension office for the latest information regarding proper turf
management---there's too many 'mow and blow' guys out there that don't know
diddly---folks are willing to pay for someone who really knows what they are
doing and can answer questions. Find your cooperative extension office:

Some folks make a bundle at cleaning swiming pools.

I sort of wondered about a small engine repair shop. They have a program at
the local technical/trade school that I often thought of enrolling in for
fun in the evening. I once took evening courses in machine shop---even got
to use the machine tools on home projects.
