Chinese President Xi Jinping kicked off a three-country trip to Europe on Sunday with the continent divided over how to deal with Beijing’s growing power and the U.S.-China rivalry.

Chase Gallagher was 12 years old when he started mowing his neighbor’s lawn for $35 a pop. At first, he only had two customers but after some aggressive leafletting—with the help of his mom—he had 10 weekly clients the following year. Now, he’s 23 years old and part of a growing number of Gen Zers who are opting out of going to college.
