He wants money.
I'm not paying him for stuff he should be doing anyway, or for general household jobs (keeping his room tidy, laundry, putting the bins out etc).
We don't have a lawn.
I do have a car so he can wash that.
I need it to be something that doesn't involve me at all because I am working.
So I don't think he's quite ready to sell his clothes w/o me checking.
There are LOADS of drawers and cupboards which could be sorted through, but again I don't want everything to be piled out and then him not know what to do with things and then they just sit around until I do it.

What are yours doing to to earn money?

Why don't you ask him to come up with a list and then sit down together and decide between you the worthwhile jobs he could do.
