All young people should get a job involving hard physical labor for some period of time. It will make a person appreciate those who physically work hard for a living.

This is why China had their cultural revolution—got the snooty university professors and students and ordered them to do agricultural labor for a few years.

The attitude adjustment was stunning.

Yes. A neighbor's son did some chores for me in my back yard, clearing ivy and weeds. He worked hard and I paid him well, by the hour. He moved from California to Texas with his girlfriend in search of jobs and fortune. Unfortunately, his girlfriend dumped him, and the guy returned to California penniless. His father told him to get working, and he is now happily working as an apprentice butcher for a grocery chain. Not everyone wants a lazy desk job; some want a blue collar skill.
