Work experience at school is legitimately a thing though here in the UK.

I had a paper round at 13 and washed dishes in a pub at 15. It was my choice to work and earn money. Not sure what’s so dystopian about that.

In germany as well. We had a week where we could try out a few jobs and occupations hands-on. It was great. Seventh grade, I believe.

And that was 33 years ago.

I don’t know how I even survived bussing tables 8 hours a week at age 14 🙄

Really, a part time job and saving while still in high school made it a hell of a lot easier to start out on my own after.
