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.
It's is in the US too after age 15.
More proof that we do live in a dystopia
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.
