I think gardening is a pretty lucrative business right now in the bay area. Atleast by the rates that many are asking. And I've seen many of my neighbors asking each other if they know of any reliable services. All one needs to be is reliable, communicate well and do a decent job.
- chrisseaton 8y agoBut gardening is a skilled job requiring a couple of years or more apprenticeship to learn - not much easier than going into tech. Hence being lucrative.
- tlow 8y agoGeneralize your argument and reply please. Many things require skill, maybe initial capital and upfront investment is the OPs point. OP claims to pay "2k/mo" to get people to quit their jobs and focus on learning X, where X is programming.
- chrisseaton 8y ago> Generalize your argument and reply please. Generalise it? No, because it was specific. The person said ‘why aren’t people immediately filling demand for gardeners it pays well’ and the answer is... they don’t know how to garden it’s a skill they don’t have that takes years to acquire.
- C1sc0cat 8y agoGardening is an unskilled job in the main.
- m0llusk 8y agoWhich is why so many people hiring gardeners get poor results. Mow and blow is cheap and easy but also extremely bad at generating healthy landscapes.
