Interesting take. I know lots of people well into their 30s, that were never forced to do anything for themselves. No jobs, no chores, no restrictions. TBH, a job at mcdonalds would have been the best thing for them at the time.
I loved my first job at McDonald’s. It taught me how to deal with the public. Most importantly it taught me that this is not want I want to do for the rest of my life. It was motivation.
my first job was a dishwasher and busboy at Denny's. Graduated from there to a car wash/gas station called 'the Bubble Machine". Always had a job throughout college years. (I didn't include paper routes which were pre Denny's years)
Young men should be helpers on construction crews. Real work, real sense of accomplishment, real skills to use on his own house later, camaraderie and respect from the rest of the crew
How about developing a work ethic? You do something for me and I give you money. Do nothing, get nothing. If the job sucks then learn something so you can get a better job.
If you are a slacker, yeah. If you take personal responsibility for your work and have a work ethic, you will want to honestly exchange labor for services rendered. Productive members of society will learn and rise past menial labor but having now valuable lessons they will climb a different ladder than those that need to be coerced or managed so they don't take pay without rendering services. Which is theft. Which means that person is a criminal type.

Exactly...same here. First job at McDonald's at 16.
I had to walk there after school, deal with the customers, clean up and come back home to homework before school the next day.
It definitely was motivation for me as well.

No kidding. No disrespect to the op, but this is the stupidest thing I've read today.
