I have 4 years of experience cutting grass for a local city here, but want to work somewhere else seasonally.
I know that grass cutting isn't exactly a hot skill, but I want to know where I can make the most money doing it. I presume going to a private company would be my best bet. Does anyone know which companies are going to be best? Are there companies that cut grass on their own property that I could work at (that seems more cushy)?
I know how to lead a mowing crew. What hourly wage should I expect to make?
Or the other option is to go for something completely different and just try to spend the summer picking up a new skill. I have no idea what.

I wanted to start my own business, but I just don't have enough money and I probably couldn't get any clients anyway. At this point, I just want to make the most money as I can over the summer before I graduate college in December and begin looking for real jobs. Because mowing is the only skill I have, I figured it would be my bets bet for making the highest wage possible.

Work for the government. City, state, parks service, DNR/ game and fish ect. Federal is the grail, but you have to know how to play the game to get those.
If you decide to travel, you're going to be competing with Mexicans who earn minimum wage. Those Mexicans can specialize in other landscaping ventures such as removal and addition of mounds and mounds of dirty.

Hah! I already worked at the Parks Department at my city for 4 years (as a seasonal). It was nice, but there is a guy there that I can't stand. Also the pay sucks; after 3 years there I was only making $10.25 an hour.
I've been looking at other government to work for, but all of them pay shit. Most postings post a salary LESS than the $10.25 I was making. I guess their seasonal jobs a really targeted at college kids. They have full time people to lead the college kids, so I am no use to them.

>with no startup money
He explains how he got some equipment cheaply. What a clickbait title.
