Don't knock it...I know a man who started installing 1 inch PVC waterlines in and around Athens, Georgia in the 1970s and when he passed away in 2019 he had paid for 3 kids degrees to UGA, had a 30 acre patch of dirt in Clarke County Georgia worth a couple of million bucks and a house on lake Oconee which would push a million dollars. He was never wealthy but he worked on his schedule, as much as any small business owner ever has, and lived a remarkable life for a ditch digger...

Yep. Every kid should have a nightmare job early in their life. A kid may think school sucks but the prospect of doing back-breaking, unrewarding manual labor for the rest of one's life gives a whole different perspective to how much effort you want to put into school.
