    @Maoc- lol, well, the snow is going to be fresh once I hit it, besides me and my friend find a fun exercise out of this. We're both 16 and after we get some subway we're going to play some rock band 2.
    Like I said I was shoveling snow 9 years ago. Inflation dude inflation. Plus we're in a recession so charge $30 =P. Then just touch on the economic state of the country lol.

    Any way wow dude when I was 16 I was already working night shifts as a videographer's assistant.

    I used to shovel 4-5 driveways in my neighborhood and made $100+ a snowday. The trick is to find people who are old or professors since they'll pay more.

    Just look at the house lol. It's easy to tell if the guy living there is rich or not.

    Yeah.. I can't find any jobs so I must choose an alternative! Besides who wouldn't turn down two handsome young men with the energy to shovel over 9000 driveways!

    I've never charged for it, only do my driveway anyways. Depends where you live if the people are nice do the simple "Pay whatever you think is fair" you can end up with a bunch more money with nice people, then just go to them all the time . Unless you have assholes who will give change haha.
