Yeah having my shit too not-together at 18 to go to college was a blessing. I ski bummed / did seasonal work for a couple years and it really helped me get my shit together for college.
Nah you want people educated as early as possible. Better to have some sort of curriculum that regularly rotates between the theory/classroom type of learning and the practice/hands-on type of learning. Part of that could be learning the value of important jobs you might never take.
bit idea: everyone has to work "unskilled" labor from 18-28, college is exclusively available to people aged 28+.

Going to label this Ableist, because its the perfect wrench to throw into any theory of change.

Sure. But I can throw "ableist" at virtually anything.

That's the spirit!
I think that mandatory retail work after high school would drastically cut down on the abuse customer facing positions have to deal with.

Don't do americorps or teach for america, they're doing unionized work for free and undercutting people who need it to support their people.
There's other volunteer opportunities though! You can salt for a union! You can work for a shelter or charity! You can volunteer as s classroom aid!
It's less charitable but you can be a lift operators / rafting guide / backpacking guide and make no money but also not pay rent.
