Some beggars make bank. Like, more than you do.
Ahh twitch streamers and youtubers.
Nah, car window washers.
$2 per car, 4 cars per light change, 6 light changes an hour = about $50/hour.
Edit: Since people need more help with math:
1 light change: 6 minutes.
Time to wash a car window: 30 seconds at most (20 seconds is normal)
Lets call an additional 30 seconds between cars for moving 3 feet and getting money.
That's 1 minute per car. Out of a slow 6 cars per minute, doing ~24 cars per hour gives you plenty of time to account for resting and being turned down
$100 an hour would be a good hour, $20 would be slow. $50/hr is a round average. Most work a couple hours a day.
Yes, it's illegal to walk in traffic like that.

$375/day, $150 in "a few hours"
Sounds like estimation of a best case scenario. If I was in one of those cars I would definitely say "no." I don't even look at those median grifters. And if they did climb onto the hood of my vehicle and start washing my windshield without my consent, there would be hell for them to pay.
No, that's an average, not best case. They can get much more than that.
Proved wrong in the first sentence. The article states $375 is the most he ever got. "Can" is also doing a lot of work in the sentence "he can get up to $150 in a few hours".
How does $375 prove my $50 wrong?
No, never mind. I don't care. You want to live in ignorance, you do you.

Wow.... So your proof, is an honest 16 year old kid who stated as soon as he can get a better job, he'll stop, that he's just doing this as a way to help out the family and his mom lets him because it's a one way street and it's less likely for him to get hit by cars. While washing windshields, he has been repeatedly assaulted. He apologized if he ever washed someone's window without asking. And yet, this, this apologetic, honest kid trying to help his family is your example of people making bank. You're an asshole.
It's an example that people here (like you) have no idea how much money window washers can get.
