Moneywise, the jobs could make sense for workers if we didn't import so much from other countries (fruits, veggies, and products). The same applies to construction and lawn work. Is it better for these kids to be driving for Doordash or working at McDonalds or something than working outside? For young people especially, I think the answer is no. But we all know that most people prefer to work inside an air-conditioned building if possible, even if the job actually pays less than picking strawberries or whatever.
