Society shouldn't promote teenagers doing shit jobs. They shouldn't be done by people with potential.

It seems to me the opposite. The world runs on a lot of shit jobs. Young people on some path to important leadership positions in society should with have real experience in these positions.
E.g: I learned a lot about efficiency and working with diverse and problematic people when I worked fast food as a teenager. I learned a lot about automation and prison when I worked in a factory in college. Both shaped a lot of my mental model for the world, and I think both contributed a lot to long term leadership skills.
The only shit high school job I don’t think I learned anything from was fruit picking. Other than maybe just how miserable it is.
I definitely fall prey to the line of thought but when I think again I realize that if they actually have potential, they will strive to meet it.
Beg to differ.
There is an epidemic of delayed adulthood brought on by lack of actual responsibility.
