Winning. Every job becomes routine at one point. It gives hope to the dropouts. The next trick is to get them to save and be frugal. They didn’t become dropouts by working hard.
I've tutored a few of them this year, young adults who would have great opportunities with the job market opening up, if they could get that HS diploma. They'd already established themselves as hard workers.
The ones I encountered were very frugal, having to live on not much more than minimum wage. The biggest danger they'd face is falling over to the dark side.
What I'm hopeful for is that this will translate into students after HS who can't afford college getting jobs with opportunities to move up instead of loans that will put them in forever debt.
