I wish we could make college students work construction in this country.

No, we mustn’t do that. For the kids might actually get some useful skills...

Because forced labor is the hallmark of a free society. /sarc

I’ve often said it would be good for every student to work a crap job for at least a year after high school, just so they get their noses rubbed in a little reality. Pay them the same as anyone else, but make sure the most disgusting, unpleasant and demeaning jobs go to them. Maybe make it an entrance requirement for colleges, trade schools, and employer training programs. It might cut down on the sense of entitlement so many kids either enter or leave college with. It might even help them better handle life’s disappointments; a bad job is a world of opportunity to learn about human nature.
