I don't see how a fella could make a whole lotta money at that, but then again, I am ignorant on the subject.  I think a person could make more money starting a lawn service.  I know a guy who has done it for years over in SE Alabama and makes a really good living.  You would think it would be seasonal, yet his clients keep him busy year-round.

You may be right, I dont know.  I just dont mind doing it.  There isnt a bush hogging service around here.  Just the big land clearers.  I dont know if that means there isnt a market or what.

You could grow weed, but I probably blew that opportunity by making this post.

Watch the legal advertisements in your local paper. Look for projects, repairs, maintenance, etc. contracts that are up for bid. I have picked up several over the years. You really are fed up with the 40 a week grind, huh?

I have a few acres where you can practice. Seriously, it is hard to find someone to bush hog small parcels and the price isn't cheap.

This is the info I was looking for.  That's what got me thinking, it's hard as hell to find someone to just come bush hog.  They want to bring out the heavy equipment and clear and level for tons of $$ is what I have found.

I wish it was 40 hours.  Yeah, I am ready to try something.

I am off right now, waiting on a contract, but when I am working it's not 40 hours, more like 50-60.

I know pretty much zero about clearing land, but it seems that simply bush hogging would not offer a ton of work. Like Brosky said, if you were to offer it as part of an entire package of lawn maintenance services, then you might have something. A cousin of mine has just such a bidness and does pretty well with it. You get a few customers, they pass along their experience with you to their friends, and the next thing you know you have enough work to last you pretty much all year.
