Kids should work first, so they appreciate school more.

School sucked, I wouldn't go back

Yeah, same. Every day, no matter what happens, I wake up happy not to have to go to school. For decades now, the knowledge I don't have to go to school has brought me joy daily. It was the worst "job" of my life so far, by far. College not as bad (I did work and have kids between, went as an adult) but work has still been better, and certainly pays better.

Yeah high school was OK near the end for me, but college is really where it's at. I try to not be nostalgic for it or whatever, but having a schedule, easy socialization, and getting to learn new stuff ever day was so nice.
