- Letters from a homeless teen
When I was young, my grandmother taught me 3 skills to make money and I have used two of them all my life to make hundreds of thousands of dollars. Those skills are cleaning and selling. No matter what job I have had, these two skills have made me an invaluable resource to the companies I work for and with. From cleaning a mini mansion and earning $200 for a day’s work to selling clothing at a retail chain on commission, I can always make a decent wage and be self sufficient.
We must teach children basic skills they can build upon, master and capitalize on when they are young. Practice makes perfect and mastery equals better pay for services rendered.
