When I was in high school my boyfriend worked part time at a car wash in San Pedro. A lot of high school kids did, and often guys would take the job while looking for another job. But today it is just one of those jobs 'Americans won't do.' That's just a bunch of crap. With the economy sinking people will be washing their cars less often or doing it themselves. Things will be shaking up in the next two years and jobs like this will be in the spotlight.
