Inspiring Kids to Work

Education , Technology

It's like a game, but your missions consist of doing jobs for people in your neighbourhood.
Do you remember being a kid and wanting to make some extra cash? What if there was an app, but it's like a game. You create your avatar and choose your weapons (snow shovel, lawn mover etc), or the customer supplies it. People in the area need some simple yard work done, they get a local kid to do it. The customer gets the service they need far below the price of profesional standards, the kid makes money. Everyone is happy. I know I would have loved that as a child, and I know kids could use a break from their screens. It would teach the young people how to make money and the value of hard work. It could even serve university students who could use a little extra money. Do you think this idea has any grounds? Is an incentive competition the right direction? I have very little experience with programming, but if I could get the right people, I would be willing to invest my time and money to make this a reality. Please give me your thoughts. Thanks.
